Cool Fiskerton Airfield

RAF Fiskerton

This is a place close to my heart, I used it as a playground when I was growing up. Still visit with the dog now and again.
The site is well put together with some great pix. Let me know what you think, please. Thanx.

The Airfields Of Lincolnshire Fiskerton

The ageless Few were sweeping by

It is well to remember these airfields and those who frequented them in the course of duty to their country.

Have a couple of shots taken at Fiskerton. Must post them here.
