HOW THIS WEBSITE STARTED. The idea and the reason for this website's creation, were to place in the public domain, some old black and white photographs which I had taken of the airfield back in 1968. I had originally 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 R.A.F Fiskerton as a tribute to those persons who were there and who flew from there on operations during the Second World War. Joint webmasters are: Martin Nichols and David Briggs.
My grateful thanks to David Briggs, the nephew of Flt/Lt. Leslie Brown for joining me in this venture and also for his tireless efforts and help with research and records of 576 Sqn RAF during the four-years this website has existed. Thanks also to John Ward of the 49 Squadron association for his contributions to this website. |

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.
