East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (South)
East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (South) The trail begins at Boston and the route has been carefully planned so as to end there too. Route details between the different RAF bases. Section 1 Boston to RAF Coningsby From Boston, follow signs for the A17 towards Sleaford. At Hubberts Bridge Crossroads (next to a railway signal box, with markers indicating the distance to go) turn RIGHT and follow the sign posts for Coningsby. This road is the B1192, and you will need to follow it to New York - no joke, this one was here before the American one! At the crossroads in New York, just before the chapel on the left hand side, turn LEFT and follow the road along, round through the sharp right hand bend at Dogdyke, until you pass the RAF fuel dump on your left hand side. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight visitors' car park is on the LEFT. N.B. If you do not wish to visit the Flight but would rather spend a few minutes watching the more modern (and noisy) Typhoons, Harriers and Tornadoes, there are ample places to park up either in the spotter's car park on the Dogdyke road, in the car park for the BBMF visitor centre and a few outside the fence by the front of the BBMF hangar. However, please do NOT block the large emergency gates in the fence, as they are to be kept clear at all times. Also, please try to avoid parking on the road, as it creates a dangerous obstruction to other users of the narrow roads around the base.

Believing that members, who have recently joined the Union> will find some little interest in knowing where field meetings have been held in the past, and that old members will not be displeased to be reminded of what districts have been visited, this resume has been drawn up. The information contained in it will also be of some use in making future arrangements for visiting the varied surface of our wide county. On June 12th, 1893, the first Field meeting was held at MABLETHORPE — a great day for lovers of nature. Many county naturalists, and also neighbours from adjacent counties, lent their aid in making the opening day a success. The out- come was the formation of the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union, as now constituted. The second meeting was held on August 7th, at WOOD- H.\LL SPA, and a goodly number of species were recorded. May 24th, 1894, found the members at LINCOLN. The bank of the Fossdyke and Hartsholme \^^ood were investigated, and a general meeting was held in the evening. The late John Cordeaux, M.B.O.U., was in the chair, and vacated it on the election of Mr.

Over the past year we have focused much of our effort on assessing listed Places of Worship; visiting those considered to be in poor or very bad condition as a result of local reports.

Best wishes and Happy Easter Cath Pike Disaster for Louth War Memorial: On the 15th March 2015 a vehicle crashed into the war memorial on the corner of Eastgate in Louth. The driver has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. Town Clerk Linda Blankley reported that the monument will have to be surveyed for structural damage, but that the main damage appears to be to the shields relating to the Second World War that were at the base of the memorial. However photographs of the memorial and the plaques 1 Lincolnshire Remembrance: Memories and Memorials Spring Newsflash 2015 supplied by Lincolnshire Remembrance project volunteers for an exhibition, have provided valuable evidence that will be used to restore the damaged plaques. From a conservation point of view it is worth making sure you have some detailed photographs of the war memorials in your towns and villages as you never know when disaster will strike. Mendinghem Military Cemetery I was updating the record for one of the Lincolnshire Casualties who is buried at Mendinghem Military Cemetery which is located 17 Kms north-west of Ypres. The Commonweath War Graves website (cwgc.org) often provides some useful insights into the history of the cemetery and why it is there.
