 "narrative": "Royal Air Force West Raynham, or more simply RAF West Raynham, is a former Royal Air Force station located 2 miles (3.2 km) west of West Raynham, Norfolk and 5.5 miles (8.9 km) southwest of Fakenham, Norfolk, England.\nThe airfield opened during May 1939 and was used by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War with the loss of 86 aircraft.\nThe station closed in 1994, though the Ministry of Defence (MoD) retained it as a strategic reserve. Having lain derelict since closure, the station was deemed surplus to requirements by the MoD in 2004 and two years later was sold to the Welbeck Estate Group who resold the entire site in October 2007.",
