Location: Secret location somewhere in deepest Lincolnshire.
As the weather was unseasonably warm myself, with Elaine as Chief Navigator decided to have a rideout to the top secret "Skunk Works" hidden deep in the Lincolnshire Countryside.
Following a visit to the "Skunk Works" we called in to the lovely cafe located on the Wickenby aerodrome and enjoyed a large full English breakfast.
Wickenby Aerodrome has been an active airfield since the 1960s, and was used as a satellite station for operations by Lancaster Squadrons 12 and 626 during World War Two.
R.A.F. Wickenby was a purpose built bomber base constructed late 1942 and early 1943. It had two T2 type hangars and one B1 type. The B1 and one of the T2 hangars can still be seen on the airfield site. The T2 near the threshold of runway 21 was recently acquired by the airfield owners and after many years of industrial use in now, once more, an aircraft hangar.
