For details of RAF Grantham take a look at http://raf-lincolnshire.info/spitalgate/spitalgate.htm. This shows that from 14 Mar 1919 39 Training School was based there, being renamed as 6 Flying Training School on 29 Apr 1920. They remained there until May 1921 after which occupation was as follows: // *43 Sqn <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/43sqn/43sqn.htm>*:: Sep 1919 - Jan 1920 *100 Sqn <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/100sqn/100sqn.htm>* :: 4 Feb 1922 - ??, Aug 1926 - Jan 1928 *39 Sqn <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/39sqn/39sqn.htm>* :: 8 Feb 1923 - 21 Jan 1928 *HQ 23 Gp <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/23gphq/23gphq.htm> *:: 12 Apr 1926 - 14 Aug 1926 *3 FTS <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/3fts/3fts.htm>*:: 2 Apr 1928 - summer 1937 Hope this helps. Regards, David > David, a Google search on "Grantham Barracks" leads one to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Spitalgate > > Wikipedia states, in part: "The station opened in 1915 as Royal Flying Corps Station Grantham, becoming RAF Grantham in 1918 - a name it bore until 1942 when it was renamed as RAF Spitalgate. Throughout World War I the station was a flying training facility and headquarters of No. 21 Group RFC Flying Training Command. The main lodging unit was No. 12 Flying Training School RFC with further elements at the satellite station at RFCS Harlaxton. Flying training continued at RAF Grantham during the inter-war years." > > Given the above, it would appear to have been an RAF unit in 1920. > > Hope this helps, > Denny (Perth, Ontario) >
