@pawellangowskii: During World War II, Lincolnshire became known as “Bomber County”, home to dozens of RAF Bomber Command stations. Lancaster crews took to the skies night after night, knowing that many would never return. More than 67,500 people lost their lives while serving or supporting Bomber Command. Today, their story lives on through memorials such as “On Freedom’s Wings”, the life-size Lancaster sculpture at Norton Disney, created as a lasting tribute to Bomber Command and Lincolnshire’s wartime aviation heritage. The sculpture represents Lancaster R5689 “VN-N”, which was based at RAF Swinderby. The International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln provides a place of remembrance, recognition and reconciliation. Its memorial includes the names of those who lost their lives, ensuring that their stories and sacrifices are not forgotten. @intbcc We shall never forget the fallen aircrew members who sacrificed their lives, nor the millions of other people who were lost during World War II. Lest We Forget. 🌺 This is a heartfelt tribute to those who made an ultimate sacrifice in this terrible times #HistoryTok #LancasterBomber #BomberCommand #LestWeforget #Lincolnshire
