Acaster Malbis airfield (RAF Acaster Malbis) was an airfield 270 kilometers north of London.
Construction of the airfield began in 1941 and it opened in January 1942 as a satellite to RAF Church Fenton. The first unit to arrive was 601Sqn, flying Bell Airacobras. The combination of technical problems and bad weather conditions resulted in many serious accidents. Constant problems with mist and fog, due to the station's proxmity to the river Ouse, combined with low elevation continued to plague the airfield.
