Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirkby, Lincolnshire, England, was founded by the Panton Brothers, Fred and Harold Panton, as a memorial to their brother Pilot Officer Christopher Panton, who along with 55,000 other aircrew of Bomber Command lost their lives during World War II.

The centre is sited on the old Royal Air Force airbase RAF East Kirkby and at the entrance to the site there is a memorial to the crews of No. 57 and No. 630 squadrons, who were based there during World War II.

The Centre has both a Spitfire and a Lancaster from WWII and a large number of other exhibits, making it an important aviation heritage centre.
