A former airfield in Lincolnshire has opened to the public as a tourist attraction after a five-year renovation.<\/p>\n

Volunteers set to work clearing the overgrown land at RAF Hibaldstow in 2019 after it was introduced to them by local farmer Clifford Ellis.<\/p>\n

Transformed into North Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (NLAHC), visitors can explore the airfield command bunker, see military vehicles up close and join guided tours.<\/p>\n

The centre aims to tell the story of those who flew from North Lincolnshire’s airfields during World War Two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Richard Greenfield, vice chairman of NLAHC, said the land had “secrets to reveal”.<\/p>\n

When renovating, the volunteers discovered the old underground battle headquarters, concrete bases and old tracks.<\/p>\n

The original flag base was turned into a spitfire memorial in August 2022.<\/p>\n
