| Very little remains of this former fighter station, which was located about a mile South-East of Harlaxton village, approximately 3 miles South-West of Grantham.
It originally opened in 1916 as an RFC aerodrome, but with the onset of WW2, was expanded in 1941 by the RAF as a sattelite station and relief landing ground for nearby RAF Spittlegate. The base closed shortly after the wars end in 1945 and has since reverted to agriculture. Today only a single hut and a couple of air raid shelters remain of this once busy site. Everything else has long been demolished. |
