Lincolnshire was known as "Bomber County" during WW2 because of the large number of aerodromes. All but a few are now abandoned and mostly gone without trace. Here and there though remnants of runways can be seen, being used as hard standing for the storage of straw bales or, as in this case, Nissen huts are still to be seen on the edge of fields where these aerodromes once existed.

    There's a lot of history in your photos, David. There must be many memories for people who pass by these today. Very interesting!

    Good Photo's David Bennett and a reminder that there was a war, and even though it was horrific in it's scope, we need to be reminded that wars today can be much, much more devastating. History like this needs to be preserved, and you have do so beautifully. Thank you for sharing here.
