RAF Wittering

I haven't been to RAF Wittering since the late 1950s I wasn't in the RAF but my Dad was Stanley William Harding he was stationed there working as a fireman it was really exciting to live there, we moved there just as the Vulcan Bombers moved in I must admit it was a bit scary when one took off because they seemed to be warming up for ages and when they started running down the runway to take off we could feel the ground shaking just after they took off the noise of the engines was really very loud but the best part was that our house was near the end of the runway I will never forget the size of it as it flew over and blocking the day light plus they never looked as if they were going to get high enough to fly but they allways did. Happy Happy Days.

A great place to be based in the RAF, Stamford is a hidden gem, rustic, but with a great pub scene all at the same time. 20 mins on the bus brings you to Peterborough, and hour on the train and your in Kings Cross, the train station of Harry Potter. Just off the A1, RAF Wittering is close to everywhere. On your bike and your in Rutland, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, with beautiful rides that take in the rural countryside with plenty of pubs to keep you refreshed on the way.

I went there for the day with air cadets to go flying. Everyone was so friendly and I had a great time.

Called here on my way past, to take a few photos of the Harrier located at the entrance. I called the base beforehand asking if it was ok and they were very friendly and said that it was ok to take a few photos but just be aware that live there is live traffic

Business here has never been so good for me, as a lanyard salesman.I've given it 2 stars because the jet at the camp gate is a non-starter, I've called the AA but to no avail, apparently they dont service jets.

I went there with the CCF (RAF section), flying is really fun. The facilities are very modern and nice. Don't let the briefing about abandonment put you off, and don't let the sick bag in your right leg pocket put you off either, you are unlikely to be sick, and very, very, very unlikely to need abandon the plane. Enjoy the beautiful sights from the cockpit and enjoy handling the plane, and also looking like you are in Top Gun. Bring a camera (phone) in the plane with you. And, if you are feeling up to it, ask to do aerobatics (loop the loop, barrel role, etc). Most importantly do as your are told, and you will have loads of fun!

Three of the worlds best, the RAF, the Harrier and the Land Rover Defender. Best of British.

I visited 5 AEF (Air Experience Flying) in particular. It was really great, the facilities are modern and purpose built for the Air Cadets, the briefing room was large and has a Wii U and table tennis to keep the cadets occupied while they wait. The staff were friendly and everything was clean and tidy.

Thought I was going for a glorious 2 week stay in a raf camp, but to my surprise the camp had been converted into a giant reptile centre absolutely crawling with lizards and snakes. Given 1 star due to my bike being stolen and held at ransom, also a lot of Ryan Air flights coming in and out
