Old airport road leading to the modern barn in Farmland near Folkingham Airfield. This WWII airfield was open between 1940-1963 and was originally a "decoy" site. During the day there were dummy planes and lots of activity. During the night it was a Q site or night time decoy (with dummy lighting fitted) that successfully attracted the Luftwaffe. It was redeveloped in 1943 as a proper bomber airfield. The station was later turned into Thor missile base in 1959, but finally closed when Thor missiles were taken out of service in 1963. All that remains of this are three sites with a characteristic ground signature on the Folkingham side of the airfield.
