Kelvesten was a bomber base for 625 Squadron of the Royal Air Force, and acted as a satellite for Binbrook Airfield. It was sited half a mile to the north east of the site of where a World War One military airfield (at Mill Farm) had been. The airfield at Kelstern comprised three intersecting concrete runways with a number of aircraft hangars (type T2 and typeB1 - but the numbers of hangars differs form source 1). Accomodation camp sites were dispersed to the north-west of the airfield, and a bomb store lay to the south-east. The land was sold between 1965-1966, or returned to previous owners. The hangars have since been dismantled and parts of the concrete runways have been broken up. (2)
