RAF Gransden Lodge
Gransden Lodge opened in April 1942 as an operational bomber airfield with three concrete runways. At the end of 1945 the airfield was transferred to Transport Command but the last operational squadron was disbanded in February 1946. The RAF station closed in 1955 and it was also used for some motor races (see Gransden Lodge circuit for further details).

Famous quotes containing the word lodge:
“Vices may be said to await us along the course of our lives like hosts with whom we lodge successively on a journey; and I doubt that experience would cause us to avoid them, if we could travel the same road twice.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
