Royal Air Force Station Balderton or more simply RAF Balderton was a former Royal Air Force station located 2.0 miles south of Newark-on-Trent, sandwiched between the now extinct Great Northern Railway Bottesford-Newark line and the A1 road in Nottinghamshire, England.
Balderton airfield opened in June 1941 with a grass surface over stiff clay, it was used by the Royal Air Force , Royal Canadian Air Force and United States Army Air Forces . During World War II it was used primarily as a troop carrier transport airfield and after for munitions storage before it finally closed. A notice in The Times for 20 May 1957 lists the airfield as one of those no longer needed by the RAF.
