RAF Bardney
Royal Air Force Bardney or RAF Bardney is a former Royal Air Force station located 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Bardney, Lincolnshire, England and 10 miles (16 km) east of Lincoln. It was built as a satellite to RAF Waddington in 1943 and the airfield closed in 1963.
It was one of the many bomber bases built in Lincolnshire and was built to the standard design of three concrete runways. All the facilities were widely dispersed. The tower was built on the south-eastern perimeter, not very far from a minor road. Scotgrove drain runs at the south end of the airfield. The airfield was bordered by woods on three of its sides.
The Bomber Command Film Flight Unit was formed here on 10 March 1945, before moving to RAF Fulbeck on 8 April 1945.
The control tower is currently being used by the Bardney Flyers Model Club, a model aircraft flying club. The former RAF station's hangars have been turned into warehouses.
