The entrance to ex RAF Hemswell
The Royal Flying Corps opened this flying field as RFC Station Harpswell in 1916 and used as a night landing ground. Nos. 199 and 200 Training Squadrons were established at the airfield. Shortly after the end of WWI the site returned to farmland.
A new RAF Station, to be known as Hemswell, was built in the 1930s to a design for Bomber airfields and was one of a number of permanent bases being built to accommodate the then rapidly expanding Royal Air Force. Concrete runways weren't added until much later. Bomber Command was formed in 1936 and on 31st December 1936, Hemswell was opened as one of the first airfields within No.5 Group.
