Reason Samnviv (talk) 12:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC) There was no such place as RAF Alma Park. There was an RAF Regiment depot called Belton Park Camp which was established on farmland not far from Alma Wood. The RAF left in September 1946, and Grantham Borough Council started converting the buildings to houses. <Grantham Journal 1 Nov 1946> carried a notice "The Worshipful Mayor of Grantham (Mr Alderman A Roberts) will officially open the Belton Park Camp Housing Estate at 3.30 pm on Thursday November 7th and will let the first tenants into possession." Then the <Grantham Journal 6 Dec 1946> reported "A chance remark by Grantham's ex-Mayor Ald A Roberts, on a recent Sunday afternoon, when he headed a tour of inspection of Belton Park camp - henceforth to known as Alma Park Estate, derived from Alma Wood, the fringe of trees running along the rear of the camp site - may go a long way towards solving one of Grantham's biggest headaches - lack of maternity accommodation.". So the name Alma Park was never applied to the RAF Regiment depot. The entry for RAF Alma Park should be deleted, and searches directed to the entry for RAF Belton Park.

Merge. Alma Park was the birthplace of the RAF regiment but it was too small for much to happen there so facilities were at the nearby RAF Belton Park et al. Most of the article has info relating Belton Park. Szzuk (talk) 13:19, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
