RAF Scampton | Dambusters | 617 Squadron
RAF Scampton stood on the site of a First World War Royal Flying Corps landing field, which had been called Brattleby.The station was closed and returned to agriculture following the First World War, and reactivated in the 1930s. It has provided an airfield for fighters in the First World War, bombers during the Second World War and V-force Avro Vulcans during the Cold War. The station was temporarily closed in 1996, but subsequently re-opened to provide a home for the RAF Aerobatic Team the Red Arrows, and to private companies, temporarily, such as Hawker Hunter Aviation, for the maintenance and storage of aircraft. In July 2018, the Ministry of Defence announced that Scampton would close and be sold, with all units relocated elsewhere.The station closed on 31 March 2023.
