Naval Air Station E.
Between 1964 and 2005, this airbase was home to a naval aviation squadron and the associated infrastructure.
The airfield was built in 1938 and completed in 1941. It served as a hub for supplies to occupied Norway and Denmark and for enemy flights over the North Sea to the north of the United Kingdom.
At the end of the war, the airfield was one of the last remaining air bases of the German Reich and was attacked by the Royal Air Force at the end of April 1945. The RAF demilitarized the facilities in the first two years after the
war and the site was subsequently used for agricultural purposes again. After the reopening of a new airfield, the airbase was initially used by a Luftwaffe reconnaissance squadron; the naval aviators then took over.
The squadron was disbanded at the end of 2005. The site is now used as a solar park and industrial estate.
