WARTIME STORIES FROM LINCOLNSHIRE AVIATION
HERITAGE CENTRE
“If one person goes away with a better knowledge of Bomber
Command, their losses and what they gave for our country, we are
one step closer to repaying our debt to them.”
The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre is a family run
museum and was set up over 20 years ago. It is now widely seen
as a living memorial to the 55,500 men of Bomber Command who
lost their lives during WW2.
It holds one of the rarest aircraft, an Avro Lancaster Bomber, in
its collection along with many wartime vehicles including a Ford
WOT1 Crew Bus, the only one of its kind known in existence.
The average age of aircrew, each man a volunteer, was 22 and
not even 1 in 4 completed their first tour of 30 operations, most
definitely a debt that we cannot repay but also a debt that should
not be forgotten.
Our Museum is built up entirely around RAF Bomber Command but
the exhibits and displays span many areas such at The Home Front
and Escape and Evasion giving you a wide perspective on wartime
Britain and the trials and tribulation of the Second World War.
