"Polish Bomber Squadrons Centre - RAF Ingham is a globally unique project to remember and celebrate the remarkable lives of the men and women of the Polish Air Force Bomber Squadrons, flying alongside the RAF during WW2."
In 2023 our fantastic team of local volunteers were awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.

March 2024 saw the arrival of ‘The Many’ art installation.
This incredible sculpture of the nose section of a Lancaster was created by French artist Suhail Shaikh and was donated to us by ‘The Atkinson’ Museum, Southport.
Bringing Polish Families Nissen Hut to Life
The team have done a great job dressing the Polish Families Nissen Hut to replicate the look of the late 1940s. A few more touches and the Hut will be a home.
RAF INGHAM AT A GLANCE
Royal Air Force Station Ingham was a grass airfield, used mainly by No1 Group, Bomber Command, Royal Air Force and only ever existed during the Second World War. The airfield and those who served from there had almost been forgotten in time...
The airfield lies some 15 miles due-north of the City of Lincoln, England.
