The ideal park-home estate for a keen plane spotter
e45de0b9-5c7f-41b1-9603-773427b32b9a
If you are a plane spotter you would doubtless appreciate living on Parklands of Lincoln. This residential park-home estate four miles south of Lincoln is located next door to RAF Waddington.
In its time this Royal Air Force station has been home to Lancasters, the legendary World War 2 heavy bomber; Vulcan V-bombers carrying Britain’s nuclear deterrent and the Red Arrows aerobatic team.
These days it is early-warning aircraft which operate out of Waddington. That and the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire air-ambulance helicopter.
Except, that is, once a year when the Waddington International Air Show takes place with 200 aircraft of all different types on display.
Mike Tucker bought Parklands 25 years ago when it was a holiday caravan site with 35 plots spread across its 2½ acres. Now, having been completely redeveloped, it has 20 plots for residential park homes up to 50x20 in size, each with parking for two cars and a garage. It is run day to day by Mike’s son Andrew.
Open-plan is the name of the game when it comes to gardens at Parklands, with the emphasis on ease of maintenance and lawns. The park’s proximity to Waddington village means all the amenities you need are within walking distance. Likewise various indoor and outdoor activities.
If all them begin to pale, you could always resort to the aircraft- observation area near the end of the runway. Who knows: you might even see a Lancaster bomber taking off…
Several vacant plots were still available as we went to press with a guidelines price of £140,000. Plot fees are £107.50 per calendar month.
