Stapleford Woods
Stapleford Woods are an area of ancient woodland and forest in Stapleford, Lincolnshire, England. The boundary of the ancient woods marks the county boundary between Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
==History==
Left in ancient times to Trinity College, Cambridge, the site was clear-felled during the early stages of World War I to supply local industry.〔 Left unplanted between the wars, the grounds were used as a British Army camp and training grounds during World War II.
In September 1943 No. 239 Squadron RAF had moved to RAF Ayr to train as a night fighter unit, and re-equipped with the De Havilland Mosquito. It then moved to RAF West Raynham, Norfolk to join No. 100 (Bomber Support) Group, participating in night time operations against enemy Nazi-Luftwaffe fighters. On 27 October 1944 during fighter affiliation training with No. 49 Squadron RAF, a Mosquito piloted by F/Lt J.H.Roberts and accompanied by Flight Engineer Sgt. A.M.Ashcroft, stalled and crashed in the woods, with the immediate death of both pilot and passenger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No. 49 Squadron RAF )〕
After the cessation of hostilities, in late 1945 the woods were bought by the newly formed Forestry Commission.〔 Along with a lot of woodland within the River Trent valley, in the 1950s the site was extensively replanted with both Scots and Corsican pine, chosen to supply local industry.〔
