Royal Air Force station Woodhall Spa or more simply RAF Woodhall Spa is a former Royal Air Force station located north of Coningsby, Lincolnshire and south east of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England.〔 ==History==
Constructed on farmland south of Woodhall Spa, the station opened in February 1942 as a satellite station to RAF Coningsby. In August 1943 it became No. 54 Base Substation. After victory in Europe the airfield was used as an assembly and kitting out point for Tiger Force (a proposed heavy bomber force for the far east). After the end of the Second World War and with the move of No. 617 Squadron RAF to RAF Waddington the airfield was closed and the site used by No. 92 Maintenance Unit for the storage of bombs. From the late 1950s it was used as a base for Bristol Bloodhound Missiles until 1964 when most of the site was sold off for agriculture or mineral extraction. The former missile site used to be under the control of RAF Coningsby having been used for the servicing of McDonnell Douglas Phantom and Panavia Tornado aircraft engines until finally being mothballed in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1432038&sort=4&search=exact&criteria=tattershall%20thorpe&rational=q&recordsperpage=60 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://home.clara.net/heureka/lincolnshire/thorpe-camp.htm )〕
