<p>Construction on the airfield at Fiskerton began life in early 1942, and opened in November the same year. Only 4.5 miles east of Lincoln, the airfield was constructed to Class A standard on the west side of Fiskerton Moor, south-east of the LNER line from Lincoln to Market Rasen. In order for the new station to be built, the road from Fiskerton village to Reepham had to be closed. Two of the main construction companies involved in building the airfield were F.G. Mintee Ltd and Constable Hart &amp; Co. Ltd, both of which were only involved in the later stages of construction. But a number of smaller companies were also involved in the building process, mainly in the early stages. </p><p></p><p> The normal 36 hardstandings were provided, all of which were the standard pan type, but one was lost with the erection of a T2 hangar on the north side between runway heads 23 and 26. Another T2 and a B1 were erected near the technical site on the east side between runway heads 26 and 31, the B1 being the southernmost. The bomb stores were positioned to the north between runway heads 13 and 23. Most of the domestic sites were dispersed in fields close to the Fiskerton village to Stainfield
