RAF Upwood Clinic, Huntingdon, UK

The clinic in the grounds of RAF Upwood was operated by USAF until it closed in 2012. It is much more modern than the rest of the RAF base.

RAF Upwood is a closed Royal Air Force station in Cambridgeshire, UK. The station was one of the three that formed the “Tri-base Area” due to its close proximity to Molesworth and RAF Alconbury. The majority of the base closed in 1994, and some of the buildings have been put back into use by private owners.

The clinic on the grounds of RAF Upwood was operated by the United States Air Force 423d Medical Squadron. The medical complex housed services for out-patients and dental care services for MoD and USAF personnel and their families and the Tri-base Area. Most standard medical care services were available, and more complex cases were referred to RAF Croughton.

In 2012 the facility was handed back to the Ministry of Defence who closed the site. The medical services were relocated to RAF Alconbury.

Pretty damn cool this man, like the cross on the roof

I was stationed there from 11/95 to 11/2001. That building was so beautiful. It was inhabited by a ghost we had named Winston. Many happy memories there.

RAF Upwood brings back many happy memories fro me I arrived at RAF Upwwod approximatte 1957/8 after my first overseas posting to Christmas Island with the first Atomic Bomb I left in 1961 (demobbed) we were based in the Opps block. it a shame to see how much damage has been done. RAF Upwood will always be home to me.

Photos 3 and 4 are actually of the Dental Laboratory. I was posted there from November 1990 through November 1993.
