Tattershall Thorpe
Tattershall Thorpe is a hamlet and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately south from Woodhall Spa, and north-east from Tattershall.
The hamlet is significant because of its Second World War connection with RAF Woodhall Spa, which was in this parish.
== RAF Woodhall Spa ==
RAF Woodhall Spa was planned as a satellite airfield to RAF Coningsby. Construction began in 1940, but because of the threat of invasion further construction was postponed until 1942 and the airfield opened later that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1432038&sort=4&search=exact&criteria=tattershall%20thorpe&rational=q&recordsperpage=60 )〕 It consisted of three concrete runways and was equipped with aircraft hangars, and temporary accommodation for over 1000 men. As it was intended to be a heavy bomber base for Royal Air Force Bomber Command, there were also large bomb stores, situated to the north of the flying field, The airfield was mainly used by 97 Squadron and then 617 Squadron (famous as the Dambusters).〔 In the latter part of the war 617 Squadron were involved in dropping powerful "Grand Slam" bombs.〔 After the war flying ceased but the site was reactivated as a Bristol Bloodhound Missile site between 1960-1967. In 2000 part of the site remained in use by the RAF for testing aircraft engines.〔
