This was where I started training as an RAF fighter pilot in 1951.
I firstly did my "Square Bashing" then was promoted to Acting Pilot Officer and made my first flight in a Tiger Moth flying over Lincoln. Then it was off to AFTS Ansty to train on Chipmunks.
Happy days!

Extracts From Sleaford & Lincolnshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Sleaford, inspired by Frith photos.
Sleaford has fragments of a castle, built by Alexander, the princely Bishop of Lincoln, in the 1120s, but its function as a market town for north Kesteven is undimmed. This view looks north along South Gate past the extraordinarily grandiose statue in its towering medieval-style spired canopy to a 19th-century MP, Henry Handley, which dates from 1850.

Moving north, just beyond the Handley Memorial, and heading for the Market Place, we see buildings mostly from the late 18th- and 19th-century phase of Sleaford's prosperity, with the castellated house on the corner of Handley Street, dated 1907, as its last gasp. To the south of the railway are the former Maltings, built in the 1890s on a colossal scale,... [more]
