SK8687 : Disused building at RAF Sturgate

near to Upton, Lincolnshire, Great Britain

Disused building at RAF Sturgate

The purpose of this building (SK869877) is unclear, it wasn’t the control tower which survives nearby. RAF Sturgate was one of the last airfields constructed during WWII, opening in 1944 as a bomber base but never saw operational service. It is now home to an airport for light aircraft and Lincoln Aero Club. Hewitt's windmill is just visible on the horizon.
