We have now added a new section on the site entitled "lest we forget".
In this section you will find perminate tributes to aircrew personel that have sadly lost their lives in the county of Lincolnshire. The first person to be entered in this section is P/O Earl Wallace Mason, who was was sadly killed in his Hurricane in 1941, during an excercise. A big thank you must go to Mr Lee Mason for all his help, along with the rest of his family.
If anyone would like a relative/friend who was killed in a aircraft incident in the county adding to the section, then please feel free to contact me.

I hope I've posted this in the right section, if not I appologise . . . . .
I'm currently up dating the maps on my website in the "Heritage Airfield" section, so they appear like in the link below . . . . . .
www.bcar.org.uk/binbrook_history.html
My question is has anybody got any maps of any Lincolnshire Airfields as they appeared during WWII, that they would be prepared to email me for use as a reference, so I can amend the maps on my site correctly ?
Any help would be most appreciated

You could look for a copy of Willis & Hollis - Military Airfields

No Amount Of Evidence Will Ever Persuade An Idiot (probably not Mark Twain)

Be careful as some in that book included post-war features on the maps. I suspect because they also used the first 1" maps to show airfields to fill gaps in AIR 10/4039.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Just to pick on one of your WWI 'landing grounds' Tydd St. Mary - it should best be described as a 6th Brigade Flight Station (Midland Area, Home Defence Group, 47th Wing). Also check your spelling.
It was a Home Defence Station for ‘B’ Flight of 51 Squadron
Squadron HQ: Marham
Personnel: officers: 7, NCOs: 3, Corporals: 2 & R&F: 39
Aircraft: FE 2b: 8
Aerodrome: 700yds by 650yds - 125 acres (3 acres occupied by station buildings).
HASL: 25ft, soil is sandy loam on clay.
Sheds: aeroplane sheds - 60ft by 130ft: 2.
