Wattisham Airfield (ICAO: EGUW) is a military airfield located in Suffolk, England, near Stowmarket rather than Ipswich itself. It has served as a Royal Air Force station since World War II and is now home to British Army Air Corps units, primarily operating attack and support helicopters. The airfield is not open to commercial passenger traffic and has no scheduled airline services. It functions exclusively as a military installation, hosting units such as the 3rd Regiment Army Air Corps and supporting operations including attack helicopter training and deployments. Wattisham has a long operational history spanning several decades, transitioning from an RAF fighter base to its current role as one of the British Army's primary rotary-wing aviation stations.
