Hi Oliver and welcome to the AiX. Are you joining the ARG too? I think your skills would be most welcome. I used to live in the married quarters when my dad was stationed there!
I was looking forward to visiting the airfield as well. Did I miss something Rich?

Nothing Missed Bigbear, I am just heading over with Jason. I'd like to get a proper visit organised for ARG this year and I will get some dates sorted this week hopefully.
Thought I'd better introduce myself, my name's Richard, I'm 22 and I'm from Washingborough near Lincoln. I'm mad about cars, I currently have two MG ZT's and I'm on 4 owners clubs/forums for those!!! I've had an interest in all things aviation from a very young age, mainly military though. So I joined the CCF (RAF) at school and did all the usual air experience flights and a gliding scholarship at Syerston. One of my A-Level subjects was Archaeology and for the part of the course you had to do your own project, I chose to do a study of RAF Metheringham and if it is possible to reconstruct the layout of the site. Which you can, if you know where to look and what you're looking for If I'm honest I surprised myself as to how much is actually left!
I don't know why, but I enjoy finding out about these old places, what it would have looked like, what units where there and more important to me, what's left there today!
Hi Richard, Welcome to the past, it's definitely not just you who likes to think like this. I'm still 22 years old...well in my mind anyhow quite a few more years older everywhere else though. Seems like you have done well with your research on Metheringham airfield. You have definitely got the bug !!
At last someone else on here who did an archaeology 'a' level and someone who did their project on an airfield. Welcome Richard, I did my 'A' level in 1983 and I did my project on Suffolk airfield buildings. I can honestly say I have never looked back, it was the best bit of education I had and has set me up for life.
You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!
Hi,
My name, Gerry Rudman, just joined after a referral from REF, originally from Gosport Hampshire, now living in Rosyth Scotland, (my last RAF posting). I have always been interested in airfields as well as other aspects of aviation, I have all the series of Action Stations which was and still is a brilliant series. I hope to feature some photos of mine that I have taken over the years and also obtain information from you good people on this excellent site, thankyou for the time being, Gerry.
