Upstairs in the Control Tower is Wickenby Memorial Collection which includes the Wickenby Museum and the Friends of the Wickenby Archive. The Memorial Collection tells the story of RAF Wickenby which was once the home of 12 & 626 Squadrons during World War II.

Wickenby's Memorial Collection has recent;y been awarded a 'Visit England Rose'.

It’s largely thanks to the efforts of the volunteers who run our Memorial Collection, that the English Tourist Board have rewarded us in this way. It means that our Collection will now be promoted by the Tourist Board and feature on their website and literature.

Wickenby Airfield was put forward for the award by Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire (AHL) because it felt the site needed some recognition. A mystery shopper then visited the airfield and was impressed by the facilities.

The opening hours are 9-5pm daily. There is not always a volunteer on site, so if you would like to look at the archive or meet with a volunteer then please contact them in advance by email. Or leave a message on 01673 885000.

The Memorial Collection has it's own website run by the volunteers. It tells you all about what they do, the history of Wickenby, news and events and everything you need to know about visiting Wickenby. Plus you can also follow them on Twitter and Facebook.
