31st Air Depot Group
Group
Military site : non-airfield
During the US occupancy of Watton the 3rd Strategic Air Depot was also incorporated. This depot was for the repair of all 2nd Air Division B-24 Liberators and remained functional until July 1945. Confusion arises as the base was established to the north of Griston, but named after Neaton, a village north of Watton.
Black GI units based at Neaton.
