Land of Nod

Yes... it really does exist. It is such a small place, one farm and it's almost impossible to find

Old RAF buildings

A little bit of interesting history. The former 4 Group Bomber Command Base RAF Holme-on-Spalding Moor in Yorkshire. Known as the Land of Nod and home to 76 Squadron during WWII. Holme once had three runways but only parts of the main East to West runway now exists, the other runways were dismantled years ago. In the 1970's The airfield was operated by Hawker Siddeley and British Aerospace for test flying Buccaneers build/rebuilt at Brough. They used to tow them out there (backwards) at 4:00am with a police escort for their first flights. In addition to the Buccaneers, they also test-flew British Phantoms on various trials.

Land of Nod. It really does exist!

The grass in this field and the one next to it are as flat as a cricket pitch, the grass is high quality and used for football pitches and cricket grounds. The gulls seemed to like it too

Tractors in Land of Nod

Nothing but farmland and a disused RAF station in the Land of Nod (yes, it is real) a very tranquil place. Two miles from Holme, but so small it's a tiny dot on the map, no houses just one farm at the end of a long single track road.
