==RAF Caistor== Opened in 1940, [[RAF Caistor]] was built as a relief airfield for [[RAF Kirton in Lindsey]], and also used for flying training from its grass runways. Closed in 1945, it later reopened as a nuclear missile base. Between 1959 and 1963 Caistor was manned by [[No. 269 Squadron RAF|269(SM) Sqn.]] equipped with three [[Project Emily|Thor missile]]s. The site has now returned to agricultural use, and little remains of the military facilities.<ref>[http://www.raf-lincolnshire.info/caistor/caistor.htm "RAF Caistor"], Raf-lincolnshire.info.
