Came across this today and thought it would be worth sharing.

Operational stations I was posted to in the past. Binbrook, Machrihanish, Honington, Laarbruch and Marham. How many are still operational?

Stenigot c/w OS grid reference (Sheet 122 SK256825) is mentioned on page 29 of the East Lindsey Aviation Trail booklet; the booklet can be downloaded in PDF format by following this link! 🙂

…..Stenigot stands out to me alot, but im struggling to find its location

If you take a line directly from Louth to Horncastle, Stenigot is to the west of that line, slightly less than halfway (the nearest place of note is Cadwell Park, which is immediately to the east of Stenigot).

Very interesting and the report on Cardington was very good as there is now a real threat of houses being built on 3 sides of the sheds making further operations impossible
