Its remote and isolated position will doubtless be considered one of its main attractions, but apparently it was not always so. Being banished to the desolate wastes of the saltflats near Friskney was considered by some former RAF employees as a fate worse than death, to be endured for as little time as possible. However, one of the last of these denizens loved and appreciated its beauty and solitude so much that he asked to stay. He went on to settle in the area.
