RAF Tempsford is a former Royal Air Force station located 2.3 miles (3.7 km) north east of Sandy, Bedfordshire, England and 4.4 miles (7.1 km) south of St. Neots, Cambridgeshire, England. As part of the Royal Air Force Special Duty Service, the airfield was perhaps the most secret airfield of the Second World War. It was home to 138 (Special Duty) Squadron and 161 (Special Duty) Squadron, which dropped supplies and agents into occupied Europe for the Special Operations Executive (SOE). 138 (SD) Squadron did the bulk of the supply and agent drops, while 161 (SD) Squadron had the Lysander flight, and did the insertion and pick-up operations in occupied Europe.

  • RAF Tempsford – utajnione lotnisko RAF, zlokalizowane koło wioski Tempsford, hrabstwo Bedfordshire, około 14 km na wschód od Bedford. Było obiektem Special Operations Executive (SOE) wykorzystywanym w latach 1942–1946 do wysyłania drogą lotniczą agentów i kurierów do krajów okupowanej Europy, w tym w latach 1942–1943 ponad połowy z 316 cichociemnych, a także kurierów do Polski. Między innymi stacjonowała tam polska Eskadra „C” przypisana do (ang.) Specjalnego Przeznaczenia. Z lotniska startowały samoloty 138 i 161 dywizjonów specjalnych RAF do Belgii, Holandii, Niemiec, Czechosłowacji oraz do Polski. Piloci zakwaterowani byli w pobliskim Tetworth Hall, tajnym hotelu dla pilotów. Po wojnie zamknięte. (pl)
