Museum Supervisor, Angela Riley said: To make ‘Gallantry in the Air’ particularly relevant to Lincolnshire, many of the aircrew that are featured were based in the County at some point during their Service careers. Regardless of origin or background, these heroic individuals were determined to serve their country in a time of war and some had to apply to do so on more than one occasion before they succeeded in becoming aircrew.
Many of the airmen, featured in the exhibition, gained the highest award for their valour with some of them paying the ultimate price. Regardless of their individual circumstances, they all shared at least one thing in common - their incredible acts of ‘Gallantry in the Air’. This exhibition will remain open to the public until Sunday 24 March 2019. Admission is free.
