RAF Netherthorpe
About
RAF Netherthorpe, near Worksop in Nottinghamshire, began as the pre-war home of the Sheffield Aero Club and was taken over by the RAF in 1940. No. 613 Squadron flew Westland Lysanders from it on coastal-patrol and reconnaissance work, and later a glider training school used the field. The RAF gave it up in 1951, and it remains an active light-aviation airfield run by the Sheffield Aero Club, with its wartime hangars and control tower still in use.
