Swinderby Airfield Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

RAF Swinderby 1940 - 1993 was sold in 1994. The technical site is now an industrial estate and the domestic site became the village of Withal St Hughs. The airfield remains and is disused.
During the second world war, No. 300 Polish Bomber Squadron and No. 301 Polish Bomber Squadron operated out of Swinderby.
From 1964 until July 1993 RAF Swinderby was the home to RAF basic training for all male enlisted personnel prior to their trade training. Female enlisted personnel training moved from RAF Hereford to RAF Swinderby in 1976.
I was one of the fresh faced 18 year olds who undertook my RAF basic training at Swinderby.
