Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, founded by two local
farmers, the Panton Brothers, Fred and Harold Panton, on the site
of RAF East Kirkby, as a memorial to their elder brother Pilot Officer
Christopher Panton, who along with 55,000 other aircrew of Bomber
Command lost their lives during WW2.
Al Barnett (V8 Chairman) commented shortly after his return
"the weekend was superbly organised by Mike and Maria and everyone
I spoke to thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The weather was generally
good with just one tropical style downpour. I attach a picture taken
outside Lincolon University I have some other pictures which I will
mail to you later".
