Sturgate Airfield

Sturgate Airfield

is an airport located 10 miles north of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England, on the edge of the Waddington MATZ and the Red Arrows training zone (R313). Originally opened in 1944, the airfield was planned as an operational bomber air station, but opened too late to see active use. The airport was closed down between 1946 and 1953, but saw further service as an RAF base until 1964, providing a stop for USAF SAC fighter units being relocated to other bases. Currently, it is an unlicensed airport operated by Eastern Air Executive (aircraft engineering maintenance, re-paints, and charter services, Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 4:30pm) and the Lincoln Aero Club, open weekends between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., or sunset.
