Lancaster 'Just Jane' (Phil Catleugh)
East Kirkby History

RAF East Kirkby opened on 20 August 1943 as a Bomber Command Station and Lancasters were based here.

Today, East Kirkby is home to an air museum, Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre with its main exhibit being Avro Lancaster Mk.VII (NX611) 'Just Jane'. The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre is a family run museum which was set up over 20 years ago. It is now widely seen as a living memorial to the 55,500 men of Bomber Command who lost their lives during WW2.

The East Kirkby Airshow usually takes place at the beginning of August each year to raise funds for the on-going restoration of Avro Lancaster (NX611) 'Just Jane'. East Kirkby is also home to a de Havilland Mosquito NF.11 (HJ711) which is the only existing version of this variant in the world. Both these aircraft perform regular taxy runs at East Kirkby Airfield from May to November. More details can be found on the official website.
