Description

Royal Air Force Scampton or RAF Scampton is a Royal Air Force station located adjacent to the A15 road near to the village of Scampton, Lincolnshire, and north west of the county town, Lincoln, England. The current Station Commander is Wing Commander Joanne Campbell.The topography of the station in relation to the road has been incorporated into the station badge, in which the Longbow bowstring represents Ermine Street (the A15 road) bent to accommodate the lengthened runway, and the arrow representing the runway itself. The site is owned by the Ministry of Defence and managed by the RAF.RAF Scampton stands on the site of a First World War Royal Flying Corps landing field, which had been called Brattleby. The station was closed and returned to agriculture following the First World War being reactivated in the 1930s. It has therefore provided an airfield for fighters in the First World War, bombers during the Second World War and V-force Avro Vulcans during the Cold War.
