International Bomber Command Centre, Military memorial museum in Canwick, England
The International Bomber Command Centre is a military museum in Canwick featuring a 31-meter memorial spire and walls inscribed with names of service members who participated in World War II operations. The collection brings together stories, photographs, and objects from aircrew, ground personnel, and support teams across many nations.
The museum opened in 2018 as a permanent record of those who served in Bomber Command during World War II, one of the war's most dangerous operations. The collection documents the legacy of these missions and their impact.
The center displays personal stories and objects from people across 62 nations who served in different roles during the war. Visitors can understand how varied the experiences were and how many different people contributed to the effort.
The museum provides extensive digital archives in partnership with the University of Lincoln, where visitors can access historical documents and photographs. These resources help you learn more about individual people and operations.
The museum sits near RAF Waddington, which suffered the highest losses among all Bomber Command stations. This location connects the memorial to a place of particular significance in the broader wartime story.
