Listen, you ground-pounding scope-dope Ps-of-S. Scampton is an historic RAF bomber base to which many hundreds of aircrew failed to return during the dark days of WW2. Later it became a Canberra base; later still it became a cornerstone of our Cold War V-bomber force for almost a quarter of a century.
Whereas Kirton-in-Lindsey was a small fighter aerodrome whose operational usefulness ended in April 1943. A number of minor units used it until it was put on care and maintenance in 1957. It had a brief 5 year reactivation for gliding and technical training in 1960, before the dung eaters took it over in 1965.
The fact that the gypsy existence of the RAF's aerobatic team now sees it at Scampton is frankly of minor interest. The 'Home of the Red Arrows' was, and always will be, Kemble.
Yes, it's a huge pity that bone-headed bean-counting idiots have allowed a once proud RAF Scampton to decay so badly. But thank heavens that English Heritage have a finer sense of military history than the MoD. But it's an even bigger shame that either historic site should now be occupied by a bunch of mere radar operators, rather than by real flying squadrons.
