I've seen reported a Swaffham-Etthornes Farm on the old Fly site a Google search
still brings this up. But I've not tracked down other documents to support that
name, however the OS map shows this area as 'Great Friars Thornes' so maybe that
is the name of the site. The Google Earth show quite a few battery farm type
buildings not on the Flash Earth image so maybe no longer active?

This is Main Hall Farm, Conington - (page 217 of Lockyears 5th edition)
confusion is possible due to two Conington villages in Cambridgeshire!, the
other one having Peterborough-Conington Airfield (EGSF) near to it.
