| Digby opened as RAF Scopwick on 28 Mar 1918, three days before the formation of the RAF. It had been active since late 1917 as a satellite airfield for RNAS Cranwell. RAF Scopwick was re-named RAF Digby in Apr 1920.
After the war the station became a Technical Training Unit with flying training (19 Flying Training and No 1 and 2 Initial Training Schools) In 1955 399 Signals Unit arrived, to be joined by 591 Signals Unit and the Aerial Erectors School. 399 SU became the Joint Service Signals Unit on 15 Sep 1998. Digby sector ops room has been restored to its wartime state and is open to visitors. As RAF Digby is an active unit, these pictures are restricted to areas open to the public. |
