Nice wonder around here today, the place is a lot bigger then you think. This is my third time here now and i still keep finding new hidden sections, there is a lot of security on site so its a right mission. He caught us once but just headed back in he seems really lazy and bad at his job.


History: (wiki)
Built in 1939,Newton was assigned to No 1 group in June 1940. On 3 July 1940 No.103 squadron RAF moved from RAF Honington with their Fairey Battles before changing to the Vickers Wellington IC in October 1940. On 11 July 1941 the squadron moved to RAF Elsham Wolds, also on 3 July 1940 (the same date when 103 Squadron arrived) No. 150 Squadron RAF arrived from RAF Stradishall again initially with the Battle before changing to Wellington IA during October 1940 however later in the month the Wellington IC was introduced to the squadron. The squadron left on 10 July 1941 going to RAF Snaith.

Newton then became a training base, and for the next five years between July 1941 and December 1946 No. 16 (Polish) Service Flying Training School provided basic and advanced training for Polish airmen serving with the RAF, using RAF Tollerton as a satellite landing ground.

Looks like a nice section of RAF Newton, I might have to revisit since I primarily explored the opposite side last time! Some good pictures, thanks
