Lindholme (Hatfield Woodhouse)

Did you know?
“

The airfield very much lives on in another aviation-related way thanks to the famous Lindholme Gear still carried aboard RAF aircraft and developed here during World War Two. This air-sea rescue device consists of five containers joined together by rope, the main one containing an inflatable dinghy and the others vital survival equipment.
