RAF Scampton is set to become the Lincolnshire International Airport — once the Red Arrows move permanently to RAF Waddington, the MoD has announced.
Speculation has been rife about the future of RAF Scampton ever since the RAF announced in 2018 that the base would close in 2022 as part of cost-saving measures.
This left an uncertain future for the famous Red Arrows aerobatics team, but thankfully they will stay in Lincolnshire and
move to RAF Waddington once their current home in Scampton closes.
iIt was initially believed that the site would become a massive edifice to the Red Arrows, as well as a 550 acre commemorative park for the RAF and Dambusters, in the form of the
Horizon Park venture.
Designs show an RAF Red Arrows attraction, a Dambusters museum, trams, indoor skydiving, business units, homes and more.
