New look website for Lincolnshire museum

RAF Wickenby Memorial Collection launched its new website on 16 January.

The collection was set up in the late 1990s in commemoration of the men and women of 12 & 626 Squadrons who served at Wickenby during WWII. The Collection, which is run by a group of dedicated volunteers is situated in the upstairs of the old Control Tower looking out over two of the original runways which are still in use today.

The collection is made up of memorabilia relating to WWII Wickenby and is also the home of the Wickenby Register Archive which includes Operational Record Books, flying log books, Station Diaries, casualty records, stories written by the airmen themselves and an extensive photograph collection plus many more interesting documents.

The Wickenby Collection is run by volunteers and is funded by donations.
