This will be part of a  new Aviation Heritage Festival  for North Lincolnshire.
The festival, which will embrace our local aviation heritage from the early 20th century to now, will take place  at Skydive Hibaldstow.
Events of the past will be brought to life, to educate visitors and celebrate aviation in our area.
A spokesperson for North Lincolnshire Council said: “This festival is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the story of northern Lincolnshire’s aviation heritage."
There were WW2 fighters based at the airfields in Hibaldstow and Kirton Lindsey, while bomber stations included Elsham and Kirmington. Many airmen used pubs in Brigg.
