RAF Finningley is situated in the county of
South Yorkshire, close to Doncaster.
The station was first planned during the expansion period of the Royal Air Force in the mid 1930's.
The main airfield buildings consist of 5 C type hangars.
Finningley spent most of its service life as a
bomber base flying most types from Handley Page Heyfords to Avro Vulcans, untill May 1970, when it was transferred from Strike command
to Training Command, and equipped with Vickers Varsity's.
During January 1976,the Whirlwind HAR Mk10 helicopters flight of 22sqn arrived from Thorney Island to be joined in September by the Headquarters Flight of 202sqn from Coltishall.
Together these two formed the HQ of the UK Search and Rescue Wing part of No 18 Group.
After nearly 25 years in the training of navigators, the faithfull Varsities were retired in April 1976 and replaced by the Dominie.
The Dominie's were later joined by the Scottish Aviation Jetstream 31's in the role of multi-engine pilot training and air engineer training.
In the 1990's Finningley was closed, and at this time, is being developed into Robin Hood/Doncaster International airport.
