RAF Maintenance Command Use
On 9 July, No. 253 Unit RAF Maintenance Command took over the station and began its task of dis-assembling RAF transport ready for disposal, and vehicles of various types parked along the runways and around the perimeter track. Auction sales followed and the site was cleared the following year. Spanhoe was then closed and returned to the farmers from whom it had been requisitioned.
