Description
English: Air Ministry airfield site R.A.F. Practice Camp Sutton Bridge in Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, England, late 1920s. View from west side airfield embankment main entrance. Photograph partially shows from the airfield's main entrance (left side) the Mechanical Transport (MT) Shed and on-site airfield road leading down towards four Bessonneau hangars and the airfield ground beyond. Visible on the right the airfield windsock and two Royal Air Force biplanes, one stationary and one inflight, both probably RAF Armstrong Whitworth Siskin IIIA or RAF Bristol Bulldog Mk. IIA biplanes. From its establishment in September 1926, R.A.F. Practice Camp Sutton Bridge airfield site continued to be expanded; from January 1932 it was officially renamed to No. 3 Armament Training Camp Sutton Bridge, subsequently No. 3 Armament Training Station Sutton Bridge, and later simply RAF Sutton Bridge.
