In May 2012 the Northern Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Project was launched covering eight airfields in northern parts of Lincolnshire. The Project tells the story of these World War Two airfields and the part they played during the war years. 
Now three years on the project has continued to develop and is holding its fourth talk on aviation relation subjects.
Free car parking is available at Hibaldstow Airfield. For further information about the talk or exhibition, contact the council’s tourism team on 01724 297536.
Coun Liz Redfern, Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The Northern Lincolnshire Aviation Project is fantastic as it brings together all of North Lincolnshire’s aviation history across our many airfields. They have held some brilliant talks so far that have been very popular with aviation enthusiasts. As well as other people who just want to learn about North Lincolnshire’s history during World War Two. I’m sure this fourth talk by Squadron Leader, Andrew Milikin is going to be just as popular. It is also great to see this new exhibition being unveiled, adding further to the Projects work. This will be the perfect day out for all the family.”
