Hi all
Took advantage of yesterday's excellent weather and went out for a ride, and ended up staying at the above for a couple of hours....read on!
It's a small WW2 museum dedicated to Bomber Command, and they've got a working Lancaster......awesome!
I got there just in time to see them start all four Merlin engines, taxi it out onto a grass strip, bring it back and then they revved the s*it out of those engines. And I was standing virtually under the wingtip, with the prop stream in my face. Now you don't get to see (or hear) that every day!
Unfortunately they wouldn't let me get a photo of my bike in front of the bomber, but here's a pic for you
Apparently you can go for a ride or a static tour in the plane so defo going back!
If you can make it then I'd highly recommend it, loads of WW2 stuff about Lincolnshire etc
