RAF Waddington is a Royal Air Force station in Lincolnshire England. It is presently home to the Royal Air Force's Sentry AEW1 and BAe Nimrod R1 aircraft. The airfield will also soon be home to the new Bombardier Sentinel R1 ASTOR ground-surveillance/intelligence aircraft of No. 5 Squadron RAF. RAF Waddington has in the last few years revived its Waddington International Air Show, which usually takes place in the last weekend of June, attracting up to 100,000 visitors and representatives of Air Forces from all round the world. There is a outdoor viewing area east of the A15 road close to the northern end of the long runway which was designed to accommodate V-bombers. Short-term visits from different NATO and Swiss fighter squadrons generate occasional additional noise and interest, as the runway is conveniently placed for offshore practice firing ranges above the North Sea. Waddington is currently home to: * No. VIII Squadron RAF - Sentry * No. 23 Squadron RAF - Sentry * No. 51 Squadron RAF - Nimrod R1 ==See Also== *List of RAF stations Lincolnshire Royal Air Force stations
