The Rocket Site?
Good morning history buff's
I happened to come across a ex mil type place in my business travels, whose address is The Old Rocket site, nera to Bawtry, was this place ever active, or was it a training site for some long past secret something or other?

Misson was also the "target" for the bomb aimers school @ Leconfield. It was MOD property until 1993 although the main "site" itself was used by an MOD surplus company for many years before that.

Thank you all for that Info,
The site I think is now owned by a set of brothers called Jackson, they buy and sell worldwide ex mil surplus kit, and currently have some stuff which most of us have never , ever seen on any road's, also some of those humongeouse Rooshian missile carriers, along with a huge selection of 50's 60's and later tanks , just right for uncle Yasser, or Saddam, the answers you all gave, now explain the peri road with many round concrete pad's I thought these were put there for some sort of Heli training, but no doubt they were for the Bloodhound's. Also on this site are a pair of Welland jet engines, that are said to have been in the Meteor that broke some sort of speed record, but I could find out nothing else about that.
