A Day Out At The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre | Air Museum | Tranquil Parks Tour 2020
We have a day out at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at RAF Kirkby. An air museum with a chance to look at some of the things that Jenny's dad would have recognised in his time as a Navigator and Weapons officer with the RAF.

Thank you Bob & Jenny a fantastic video, how lucky we all are and how much we owe to them all.
Those airmen were so brave.... We owe them so much
Really enjoyed your visit to museum, Poppy was so patience and well behaved. 👍🏴🏴🏴👍🏴🏴🏴👍
Thank you both and Poppy, thought provoking and poignant, what an excellent museum.
Fascinating video. If it wasn’t for the brave men and women of the past, we wouldn’t have our future.
The year they dropped all the poppy's down the Mall on Remembrance Sunday we saw them fly by that morning then we heard them coming back later that day, We stood like nutters waving like mad as the Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane flew by again then suddenly they banked left I thought they were going to the Lincoln field, then they banked again flew real low over the house gave us a winged salute then flew on home. Fantastic! Was surprised they saw us waving made my Mums day and mine to be honest. I have never been to that museum I will be going for sure now. Great video thank you.

Great video. That place is definitely on my list to visit. A very well kept and run place.
Wonderful! My maternal Grandad was in the Home Guard and I’ve got some photos of him in uniform 😊
Wow...brought a tear of joy to myself as I used to take my late father to places Like these sadly passed (2018) I never took him to here ...all the others mind you... I like your little videos long may they continue...cheers Bob and Jenny (oh and poppy) 👍
Thank you both for a very interesting video of your visit to the aviation museum in Lincs. Well timed with the VJ celebrations this weekend . Take care both C& S 👍xx
Really enjoyed watching this... you make us feel like we are actually there. We love looking around places like this, just wish that more would allow us to take the dogs inside. Poppy was a little star, didn’t hear a peep from her. 🐾🐾😍

Hi Bob & Jenny, lived your vlog and it is a great place to visit. We have been a couple of times as it isn’t to far from us! It is amazing to see all the information the Centre have managed to obtain! TYFS. Sue & Brian👍🐶🐾😀
i was lucky enough to have a taxi run in just Jane in 2014 and have to say it still remains one the my best memories , i was in the cockpit behind the pilot as he struck up all 4 engines and took us out to the open field , he powered her up for a short run and then back to the runway .i will never forget the sound and feeling of those 4 engines pulling us along , what a huge privilege to sit in one of the few remaining lancasters , i would highly recommend visiting when there is an engine/taxi run , you wont ever be allowed to stand so close to lancaster with all 4 engines running ,awesome -)

Hi Bob Less we forget! what sacrifices were made by our Parents and Grand parents, we just cant imagine the loss of life in order that we can live our life's as we like! Like Jenny's relations My Mum and Dad were both in the forces, and thank God they survived or I wouldn't have been here to enjoy your great videos. Cheers Bill

Loved the museum visit!! Absolutely fascinating, but sad. I remember when I was a child my dad, who was in charge of organising my Leatherhead school summer fete, got Barnes Wallis (of the bouncing bomb fame) to open the fete. I am still thrilled that he did and I’m 65! The famous Brooklands Museum is nearby, where the airfield and race track were. There’s a Barnes Wallis Way too in Byfleet.

Really enjoyed the trip around the museum, that's one for our list of places to visit, thanks for sharing 👍
Great informative video Bob & Jenny. Keep them coming. Thankyou for not having any adverts during your videos, Dave.
Thank you. Enjoyed this very much.
Another interesting visit, thanks. My Dad was still at school when war broke out. After classes in school and then Uni. he was in the home guard. One of his jobs was to guard Edinburgh Zoo, if a bomb hit they were to shoot any dangerous wild animals before the could escape. Luckily it never happened. He then he became Captain in the Artillery and served in several theatres ending up in Berlin and wasn’t demobbed until 1947.
Glad to see you both at East Kirkby Aviation Centre. I am a member of the association who are raising money to get Lancaster "Just Jane" back in flying condition. It's a pity you weren't there when they fire up the engines and taxi her up the runway. She doesn"t fly yet as a certification of air worthiness hasn"t been issued yet but it shouldn't be long which will make her only the 3rd flying example in the world

Hi Bob and Jenny, thank you, I’m now getting my husband to take me to visit this museum. He’s flown into it as he has a light aircraft. Really interesting full of aviation history. Thank you x
Very well done video and what a place ! a true memorial to those that perished in order that we would live without tyranny,the British spirit of survival is very apparent in all of those wonderful exhibits of times past,a lot has been achieved at East Kirkby in a relative short period of time,thank you for producing this of your own personal visit.

Another brilliant video Bob & Jenny. We visited there about 16 years ago, it's seems much bigger now. Found it a very moving experience, we owe them a lot. Thanks for giving us a "second visit". 👍🙋♀️🚐

There is so much there to see, it was hard to take it all in.
The Lancaster just taxis up and down the runway with paying passengers, they are fund raising so that it will be a flying Lancaster as the Battle of Britain one is at the moment the only one. We went there last thing before it shut many years ago. We met the two brothers as they we locking up, it was getting dark and it felt so atmospheric, they said they thought they had seen things there. We also went to a VE DAY dance with a full swing band and we danced in period costume under the Lancaster, it was amazing.

2 can still fly. One is BBMF @ RAF Coningsby and the other is in Canada. I believe there are plans to restore a 3rd to airworthiness but hugely expensive.

@@Doubleoseven502 yes we saw the one at Coningsby back in 1989, when we travelled back after 20years away, to show our Canadian children their heritage and told the staff that we have seen the other one flying at the air show here, near where we live. They were impressed!
oh this video moved us both deeply and I found myself in tears of gratitude to those brave men, when I saw the wreckage of their aircrafts. As a Victory baby, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have been here. My hubby was born in 1943 and he can remember the sound of the Ack Ack guns from the Royal Artillery Barracks at Kingstanding in Brum, right behind his bedroom window. They had only an tin Anderson shelter, buried in the garden, to run into. My mom told me of the sound of a doodle bug stopping as she ran with my sister in her arms into our shelter. It dropped into the next street over and took out all the homes there. That crater was never filled in. It was years before I knew why there was a hill in that street and not in ours! Did you get more footage of those doodle bugs, hubby caught a glimpse of some inside the hanger. That museum was worth every penny and is a great tribute to the men and women who served and also saved those who did. My dad was in the home guard and did his hours at night, after working a long shift in an engineering factory that made parts for aircrafts. My hubby's dad was unable to serve but taught servicemen how to use grenades and other weapons. These museums are a testament of our history that will be forgotten if not for places like these. Thank you for the footage you recorded, I think I could have spent all day in there.

Thank you for your comments and the memories it evoked. We went to Duxford IWM and I'm editing that at the moment, they have a V1 there.
Hello Bob and Jenny. I'm working my way through your great videos. The museum at RAF Cosford in Shropshire is also a great visit. You pay for parking there but you get free entry. Thanks for your Vlogs, Dave .
Hi all , that is really cool we stay on a family run site just across from there , where there is another part to this museum on their site , really cheap electric hook up was only £11 a night , no showers , but has a decent loo waste and water fill up with a wash room and toilet etc. We never saw the museum open has out all day , did see the Vulcans last flight down there though. Some of those relics you saw have been dug up by metal detectorists in the area. We have been celebrating VJ day in honour of my Grand Father in the forgotten army today. :) Stay safe and best wishes

Fantastic video Jenny, Bob & Poppy. I visited the museum last September 2019 while staying at Delph Bank a Tranquil caravan park in Fleet Hargate Holbeach nr Spalding. I was lucky to visit when Lancaster Just Jane was doing engine & taxi runs! A truly awesome experience & fantastic day so much to see in the museum...Watching your video brought back memories of how wonderful it is there.

A museum I have always wanted to visit, thanks for posting your trip and sharing it . As has been said in other comments, the Lancaster Just Jane is not airworthy, but can taxi with paying guests. There are only two airworthy Lancasters in the world at the moment, The City of Lincoln operated by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and V Vera operated by the Canadians. In 2014 Vera visited the Uk and both Lancasters performed across the country at numerous airshows, the first time two Lancasters flew together in UK airspace for 50 years.
