Any good aviation sites near Humberside Airport?

look forward to any pictures.. I must venture up to that end of Lincs sometime..

Elsham is now split in two by the approach to the Humber bridge,and on your approach to the bridge,the right hand side is mostly industrial estate,but I think that there may be some old tracks still visible once your on it.The left hand side is virtually farmland,but again,there are some tracks visible.

Both sides are linked via a roadway that goes under the main road,and if I remember correctly,one of the original hangers is still in use,albeit for industrial purposes.

Having been on the site many times in my capacity as an HGV driver,I’m quite familiar with it.

Wrong end of the county for me, but according the Control Towers website theres still one of the old hangars standing at Elsham Wolds, which is only down the road from Humberside/Kirmington.. not been up to Elsham so no idea if you can get on to the airfield or what else is still there.. if not the Humber Bridge is always worth a look! the dog may even be impressed.. 😀

Excellent Neil! Elsham Wolds it is (the mutt can stay in the car if necessary!).

My dear friend Denys Teare (Author of “Evader”) took off from Elsham on his fateful mission with 103 sqdn. so it will be a most appropriate visit.

I shall take along the digi cam and post any noteworthy results!
