| Some pictures from the Former RAF Swinderby, which for nearly 30 years was the Airmans School of Recruit Training (SofRT). It closed in 1993 with training moving to RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire.
The site was sold off in 1996 in various lots. The airfield is on occasion used as a showground, and tech site remains largely unchanged and in use as industrial units. The domestic site, including all the barrack blocks, post office, messes and medical facilities was demolished in 2003/04, with the exception of one barrack block and following extensive building on the site, it is now the village of Witham St Hughes. |
