Closure

Post by halky68 » Wed Nov 18, 2020 10:18 am

RAF Linton on Ouse finally closes it doors on the 18th December 2020. :( Another one bites the dust and having spent the last 6 years there as part of the AOAC, one base I am really sad to see go...Ah well onwards now to RAF Topcliffe.

Can you confirm that the Station is closing on the date you quote?

I had read elsewhere that it was just the airfield/ATC that was closing by end of December 20, with the actual camp not closing until end of March 22.

Cheers,

It was announced this week that the MOD have no use for Linton and therefore it will be sold off in 2023

They're building like they're expecting a huge increase in the local population imminently. My guess is there's a housing estate in Linton's future. Future streets to be called ' Tucano Lane' and 'Provost Close' etc...

Does anybody have any photos of Linton over the years they could post? , would be great to see these from the Provost T1 era through JP to Tucano (did they also have Vampire T11s?). A nice tribute to a once well visited base. Thanks.

Hi Alf. I have a good collection of Linton pics dating back to the early '80s taken during 100s of visits to the viewing area. I'll trawl through them and post a selection sometime in the near future.
