REFLECTION ROOM APPEAL
To mark the 80th Anniversary of VE and VJ Day and the 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain (in which the Polish pilots of 303 Squadron served with such distinction) we are launching an Appeal to raise funds for the completion of our REFLECTION ROOM. The room will be situated to the rear of our wonderful new Remembrance Garden.
We will pay tribute to those who gave their lives in conflict and also
to everyone who served and worked at RAF Ingham.
The Room would enable visitors to the Centre to sit and reflect
on the sacrifices of the Airmen and their families and to
remember their own loved ones.
If you are able, please make a donation through our Just Giving Page via the link on our website (reference ‘Reflection’) or at the Centre in our Collection Bucket. All Donations made this way will be put towards the creation of the REFLECTION ROOM.
Thank you for your kind support
"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.
RECENT ACTIVITY
Heritage Project Update
REMEMBRANCE GARDEN
Work has now started on our new Remembrance Garden at the front of the Centre. The flagpole for the RAF and PAF ensigns is in place, and pathways are almost finished.
The next phase is planting, followed by the creation and installation of personal remembrance plaques.
ARRIVAL of 'the many'
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 10 miles due-north of the City of Lincoln, England.
