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)
