Assessor comments
"Take a tour of iconic Battle of Britain aircraft and more."
Overview
A unique partnership between the Royal Air Force and Lincolnshire County Council provides the public with a gateway to the home of the RAF Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby. Here you have the opportunity to see the Flight's historic aircraft at close quarters and to observe the RAF BBMF technicians working to maintain them in airworthy condition. Access to the RAF BBMF hangar is by guided tours only, which are are led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer guides, who give freely their time and who, in some cases, have first-hand experience of the aircraft. Tours last approximately one and half hours.

About the area
Much of the fenland around the Wash has been drained of its marshes and reclaimed as highly productive farmland. Further north, the coastline, with its sandy beaches, has been developed to accommodate the holiday industry, with caravans, campsites and the usual seaside paraphernalia.
