You are now on the site of the old RAF Elsham Wolds airfield which was extended near the site of an old WW1 airfield in 1941. It was formed by 103 Squadron with 576 Squadron following later. The Radio and Telephone Mast stands on what was the NW end of the Main runway. The airfield had the usual 3 runways. The large J hangar still remains and is situated on The Flarepath, opposite was the Control Tower exactly on the site where Piper's Crisps now stands.
103 had more operational sorties than any other Group 1 Squadron, and consequently suffered higher losses. However one Lancaster III, numbered ED888 M2 (Mike Squared) held the Bomber Command record for the most operational sorties, having completed 140 between May 1943 and December 1944, a total of 974 operational hours. The plane gained the nickname of "The Mother of Them All", but sadly this was not enough to save her from the scrapyard. From GZ you can see what is left of the main runway, there used to be a shortcut here to Elsham but too much rubble and potholes now!
