Lincolnshire

Post by Astro » Tue Feb 11, 2025 7:56 pm

Hi everyone,
Saying hello as I'm new to the group, and have a question.
I live at present only a very short distance from Sywell aerodrome in Northamptonshire, so am very fortunate to see frequent flights over my house of Spitfire, Mustang and ME109 etc. In addition, I'm a Vulcan bomber fan (aren't we all), and have been lucky enough to have been in the cockpit of XM655 at Wellesbourne on several occasions.
Question
I'm looking to relocate to Lincolnshire and much as I am fascinated by aircraft, I have another hobby I take very seriously, which is astronomy. Common sense tells me not to look at property too near the RAF bases, but I could do with knowing if some areas are hotspots for training and air traffic in general.
Is the whole of Lincolnshire considered a training/operations area or are flights along certain corridors? The area I'm focusing on especially are the Lincolnshire Wolds Louth, Horncastle etc.
Any advice, local knowledge would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

David B (Astro)
