Great Steeping was also the home of RAF Spilsby, which originally was to be on the site of Gunby Park. However after an appeal by Field Marshall Sir Archibald Montgomery-Massingberd of Gunby Hall to the King, the RAF Steeping airfield was built as RAF Spilsby. It opened in September 1943, and in 1944 RAF Spilsby, RAF Strubby, and RAF East Kirkby joined to become the newly formed 55 Base with headquarters at East Kirkby. In September 1944 RAF Spilsby became a two Lancaster squadron station, home of 207 Squadron and 44 Squadron. No 2 Armament Practice School took over from 1945 until November 1946, after which the station was placed on care and maintenance until 1955. It re-opened to host ground units of the USAF who moved out in 1958.<br>
