RAF Grimsby in Lincolnshire, England, was a Second World War Royal Air Force bomber aerodrome. It initially opened as a satellite station for the Wellington bombers of RAF Binbrook. By early 1943 the station was equipped with Lancaster bombers of 100 Squadron. Although the station was officially called RAF Grimsby, servicemen and locals referred to it as Waltham, the name of the nearby village.
