Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre is a military aviation museum in East Kirkby that displays aircraft and personal belongings of RAF personnel from World War II. The collection includes engines, uniforms, and equipment that show what daily operations and life were like during the war.

The museum was founded in 1988 to document and preserve the work of RAF Bomber Command. It is home to a functioning Lancaster bomber, one of the last remaining aircraft of its type.

The centre preserves memories shared by former RAF veterans who regularly speak with visitors about their experiences during the war years.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs that focus on aircraft maintenance and restoration work. Visitors should plan to spend several hours to fully explore the exhibits and see the aircraft up close.

Visitors can experience taxiing runs in the Lancaster bomber NX611 Just Jane, one of only three remaining examples still capable of ground demonstrations. This rare opportunity connects the aircraft's history directly to the present day.
