RAF Tholthorpe was 2 miles west of Easingwold. It opened in August 1940 in No 4 Group as a satellite for Linton-on-Ouse and was developed in 1942-3 into a full bomber airfield and allocated to No 6 (RCAF) Group as a sub-station for No 62 Base (Linton-on-Ouse). The airfield closed in June 1945 after the departure of the Canadians. Most of the facilities were dismantled, much of the concrete was dug up from the runways and a minor road running almost north-south across the site was reopened. Today it is used for agriculture and light industry. This wartime Romney hut is used as a paintshop for Stephensons coaches.
