RAF SPILSBY AND LOCATION

Northcote Heavy Horse Centre is located on what was the WAAF (Womens Auxillary Air Forse) site No 2 of RAF Spilsby, the  airfield was built early in 1943 as a heavy bomber base with 3 concrete runways the longest two were 600ft and all three were 150ft wide.

WAAF site 2 consisted of 5 barrack huts, 1 Ablutions/Latrine block, 2 sargents quarters, 1 picket post and a bomb shelter.

 Two concrete barrack block bases survive, one is used for the Hens Nest tea room and one for the covered shelter opposite.

The ablutions/latrine block is now the horse building.
