RAF Swinderby Gone
The WW.II Watch Office/Control Tower at the former RAF Swinderby 9 miles SW of Lincoln a photo taken in 2005, this and the hangar behind as well as all airfield structures were demolished in 2009-2010. The old airfield then became a quarry for gravel extraction with a new housing estate and business park (after more demolition) on the former domestic site. RAF Swinderby opened in 1940 closing in 1993 and sold off in 1995, another significant 'Bomber County' airfield sadly into history.
