RAF Scampton/RAF Dunholme Lodge

There are some useful old maps on the Old-Maps website. If the link works this should show Scampton village at 1:2500 scale in 1972

You will have to navigate to the airfield locations but the 1972 mapping shows Dunholme in almost complete wartime layout. Scampton was developed in the 1950s and the long runway is a jet era one as Scampton was grass during the early part of WW2 and had three runways added later in the war, the traces of these can still be seen. Larger scale maps (showing less detail but a larger area) are available for later years but Dunholme gradually disappears. Also the zoom on these is limited unless you pay a subscription but is perfectly acceptable at the available levels.

Going back too early in the old maps will lose the airfields as they were classed as secret and not shown on maps until the late sixties or later.

Aerial photos are a little more tricky as these are not available free online and you have to request coverage of each airfield from Historic England and then pay for copies. However there are many versions of both airfields available on some websites, although some may be breaching copyright or licence rules. I would suggest you use Google to search for "Scampton" and ad "RAF" or "Airfield" and see what comes up in the images search. Likewise for Dunholme Lodge. I think wartime site plans may also appear as well.

There is a book called "Base of Bomber Command, Then and Now" by After the Battle Publications that show both airfield's aerial photos from wartime but this is a tad expansive if you just want the two and in any event both the photos in that book will probably appear in that Google Search.

We have topics on here for both Scampton and Dunholme Lodge

Failing that RAF Scampton has a Heritage Centre and Dunholme Lodge also has ( a private) one, and you could try contacting them
