About this site.

The idea and the reason for this website's creation, started in July 2006 when I looked at some old black and white photographs which I had taken of the airfield in 1968 when aged 14.

I intended to offer these few old photographs to one of the many websites which feature the old Bomber airfields, but I decided instead to create my own website about Fiskerton and those persons who were there during the Second World War.

Despite having no connections with the RAF myself other than living in Lincolnshire, I first became interested in Bomber Command after a history lesson at school during the 1960's. I began by reading whatever books I could get hold of. One particular book is called: "Lancaster-The Story of A Famous Bomber." This superb book details the development of the Lancaster and its introduction into service in 1942 and also the post-war Lancasters. Also listed in this book, are the serial numbers of every Lancaster produced and its eventual fate.

There were fifty Bomber Command airfields in Lincolnshire, Fiskerton was the nearest to my home.

The Images.

The images of Fiskerton were taken by myself, some in 1968 and some very recently. The few from 1968 are part of a set of 36, the rest unfortunately were lost.

The wartime images were copied, with permission, from the MOD Bomber Command website and ww2images.com. The aircrew images were kindly donated by former aircrew or decendants of former aircrew and groundcrew. The image of East Kirkby's Just Jane was taken by myself and published with the full permission of The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre,East Kirkby.

My grateful thanks and appreciation is extended to all those persons who have contributed to this website, either by granting permission to access the airfield or by supplying me with information and photographs to put on the site. These contributions have enabled the website to expand. Anyone wishing to contribute information and photographs relating to Fiskerton to this website, please contact me at: mwn123@btinternet.com.

Permission to visit these private areas was given by the Land and Property owners for research purposes only.My grateful thanks go to these owners for granting me the necessary permissions to access the areas and take photographs.
