Yes I have heard of Metheringham.
And of course I have heard of Faldingworth, I just wasn't sure off the top of my head what its post-war/cold war use was. But had an idea it had housed a Thor Sqn. Retired BA/BY same again, but I've read on line that it was a satellite for Scampton, proximity suggested it wold fulfill the same role for all the Lincolnshire V-bases at the time, but I bow to your greater knowledge.
