Sturgate Airfield

Sturgate Airfield (ICAO: EGCS) is an aerodrome located 10 miles (16 km) north of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. Originally opened in 1944 as RAF Sturgate, the airfield was planned as an operational bomber air station, but opened too late to see active use. The RAF station was closed down between 1946 and 1953, but saw further service as a Royal Air Force base until 1964, providing a stop for USAF SAC fighter units being relocated to other bases. Currently, it is an unlicensed aerodrome. Sturgate is leased and operated by Eastern Air Executive Ltd during the working week on a strictly PPR basis. The local Lincoln Aero Club operate the field during weekends. Sturgate airfield has recently undergone improvement works since leased by the MPS Group of Companies. Further improvements to runway airfield infrastructure and facilities are continuing.
