RAF Syerston is home to a flying training school and is home to the headquarters and RAF central gliding school to train up gliding squadrons.
The military airfield in the small county parish of Flintham was initially built as part of the bomber expansion in the 1930s, and would eventually see the presence of the Lancaster bomber, Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes during the Second World War.
In 1958, a prototype Avro Vulcan aircraft crashed during a display at Syerston, killing all crew members and three more on the ground.
It became No.2 Flying School in 1955, which remains to this day.
The Met Office says there will be cloud cover over the county today, but no rain and some sunny spells at 12pm.
Visibility will be 'very good' throughout the morning.
