To name a few, the Red Arrows are based at Scampton, and Coningsby is home to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and its associated Visitor’s Centre. At the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby you can hear the roar of Merlin engines as Lancaster ‘Just Jane’ completes a taxy run, whilst Digby Lima Sector Operations Museum is an authentic Operations Room, complete with original plotting table.
Some of the centres highlight the impact of an airfield on the local community, set out in remote parts of the county. Some are best seen in company with other aviation heritage sites, or other local attractions. Check out the sites below, and put together your own journey of discovery into the aviation of Lincolnshire.
Through its fifteen member sites and other partners, Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire remains at the forefront of promoting our proud history of aviation.
