RAF Digby

RAF Digby is about 15 miles south of Lincoln and 8 miles north of Sleaford.

Although nominally an RAF station, over the last thirty years it has been used by the Army, Navy, Air Force and utility companies for the training of aerial erectors. It performs a monitoring function within RAF Signals Command, the massed arrays of aerial wires effectively preventing the use of the former Digby airfield by aircraft of any description.

During the Second World War it was used by Canadian air forces. It remembers this era with a Hurricane replica as a gate guard .

There are a number of nuclear bunkers dating back to the Cold War, one of which has become a museum, honouring in particular the station's role as a Sector Command centre during the Battle of Britain.

The station gymnasium is excellent, and is probably the size of a football pitch, all undersprung and with a 200m running track around the outside. There is also an out-door astroturf pitch. The station has football, hockey, rugby and cricket teams all willing to host visiting sides.
