The airbase in northern England was one of many
locations from which Bomber Command launched strikes across the
Channel.

- Tholthorpe then and now -

The above photo provided by Mike Stennett of Leeds, was
taken in 1996. The outline of the airbase is still visible. Click
on the photo for an expanded version of the image.
Part of this base has survived the 60 plus years
since it's inception, and although now surrounded by farming,
some of the original structures can still be seen. In fact, some
restoration is now in progress. The following map will provide
the orientation and location for a gallery of photos from the
past and present. Click on the red
