RAF Lindholme South Yorkshire 1982 - a photo on Flickriver

RAF Lindholme South Yorkshire 1982

            The RAF airfield at Lindholme just south of Hatfield Woodhouse after closure in 1982.

It was opened in June 1940 and No. 50 Squadron's Handley Page Hampdens arrived a month later. From October 1942 it became an operational training base and remained as such for the rest of the war. Post-war it was used by the Bomber Command Bombing School.

As a child in the 1950s I knew it   as the venue for the Battle of Britain Open Days before they moved to Finningley. Lindholme's Varsities and Ansons were an everyday sight over Thorne & the view of the dumped Avro Lincolns (after being replaced by Hastings) from the top deck of the bus was a highlight of any journey to Doncaster. 

It became HM Prison Lindholme in 1985. The control tower still stands.
