Located North of Cottesmore village, 4 miles West of the A1, half-way between Melton Mowbray and Stamford. RAF Cottesmore is the home of 1(F) and IV(AC) Squadrons plus 800 Naval Air Squadron with their Harrier GR.7s, GR.9s and T.10s. 3 Squadron have become a Typhoon unit and moved to RAF Coningsby. Until early 1999 Cottesmore was the home to the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment (TTTE) but with its closure has become an exclusively-Harrier station. The RAF's other major Harrier station, RAF Wittering, is only about 20 minute's drive away to the South-East.
