At the entrance to the Visitor Centre stands a Lightning XM 192 (which served with the RAF during the 1960s & 70s) and a Ferranti Bloodhound Surface to Air Missile (SAM). These were stationed here between 1950 and 1965. The remaining outside feature is the Memorial Garden dedicated in 2002 to all those who lost their lives while serving at RAF Woodhall Spa. Each of the four Squadrons serving here has its own small garden and plaque bearing the Coat of Arms.
