RAF Finningley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Finningley is located to the South of Doncaster and during 1915 was located close to the Royal Flying Corps Station Doncaster (RFC Doncaster) which later became RAF Doncaster and is also located on the same principal highway. Finningley was to continue in a training role for No.106 Squadron, which brought its Hampdens in from Cottesmore in October. The reason was that Finningley was about to be given a new lease of life as a V-bomber station and during the next two years work was carried out to relay and extend the main runway to approximately 3,000 yards (2.7 km). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/RAF_Finningley   (1719 words)
