Travelling to Lincolnshire to persue aviation heritage from my youth I needed a base that gave me the option to plonk myself right in the middle of today's front line Air Force Jets and the beauty of the aircraft of yesteryear. The Campsite that fits the bill for me is the above mentioned campsite in East Kirkby. Nestled on the A155 and within walking distance of the beautiful Lancaster Bomber "Just Jane" and a mere 8 mile drive from the Air Base at RAF Coningsby which is home to the Typhoon and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight "What more could you want!".
"Just Jane"
The campsite welcomes people from all walks of life also dogs and children are welcome. There are little tables to sit in the summer sun and enjoy the passing aircraft going to and from Coningsby which could be a fast jet or 4 roaring merlins of the "Lanc" or you could put one foot in front of the other and visit the museum where "Just Jane" resides.
Parking is spacious and well sheltered from the winds by tall hedges.

A short walk in to the village and you will find The Red Lion which was a popular watering hole for ground crew and the pilots of RAF East Kirkby during WW2, there is a room dedicated to the memory of them and even one of the tables still bears the names inscribed in the wood from all those years ago.
