Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre的点评
点评：Those kind enough to to follow my myriad travel feature articles over the years will know that I don't normally write a second piece about an attraction hotel, island or eaterie et al that I have enjoyed visiting previously... unless there is something new to report..!
Here, I am delighted to say that the wonderful home of Lancaster 'Just Jane' (the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre), does indeed have something new to report..not only in terms of cracking new artefacts on display since my last visit, but also through the fact that the very long road to getting 'Just Jane' back into the air, to join with the other two flying Lancasters (both here in the UK and over in Canada) carries on apace..!
The story of 'Just Jane' (the only original Lancaster in private hands) is quite something and, sitting in the corner of the large hanger watching the story of 'Just Jane' unfold on a video as I did, (whilst my wing-man 'Nobby' was enjoying a small guided your around the collection's Mosquito 'Wooden Wonder' by a very knowledgeable docent), I was able to pick up yet more fascinating information..
It really is quite an amazing story of two brothers, (the RAF air base was built on their farm in WW-II), acquiring the bomber in memory of their air-gunner brother, tragically lost in an RAF heavy raid over Germany, and the subsequent tale of RAF co-operation alongside thousands of volunteer man-hours spent getting 'Just Jane' transferred up to Lincolnshire on numerous RAF trucks and then pieced back together by RAF & civilian volunteer engineers as a ground-runner.
I won't repeat the incredible tale here, save to say that when you visit the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby (as I know you will ) you will be rivetted when you sit down and actually watch the short video as I did.
Meanwhile then wandering around the large hanger, (it was early November so the Centre's Lancaster & Mosquito..both currently ground runners only) were safely tucked away in the massive hanger), I was also happily surprised to see a third mighty aircraft on view.. a Mitchell B.25 twin-engined medium bomber of the USAAF standing there in its olive-drab finish.. another terrific acquisition whose story (including a famous movie appearance) was there on an interpretation board for all to see.
In addition, within the hanger there appeared to be a number of additional new & wonderful acquisitions in terms of vehicles to supplement the incredible aviation collection that lines the walls and edges of the mighty hanger, all being original ground-dug and recovered artefacts from WW-II British, American & German aircraft that came to grief in the skies over the mighty county of Lancashire..
Furthermore, there was also an original bouncing bomb as designed by Barnes Wallis, a display featuring the instrument panel & control column from one of Guy Gibson's original Lancasters.. plus a video interpretation display explaining 'Operation Manna', the vitally important emergency RAF Lancaster drop of vitally-needed aid to the starving Dutch people in the final week of World War Two...
Having been around WW-II history for most of my adult life, I have to say that all of the displays I inspected at close-hand rival anything put on by other museums..and here I have to, sadly, inject a slightly sour note to my piece.. (not something I normally do!)
Not in terms of this absolutely wonderful and most evocative museum, I have to quickly add, but on the newly opened Bomber Command Centre near Lincoln..a glitzy, money-guzzling, glass & concrete edifice that purports to represent & commemorate the RAF in Lincolnshire, (or 'Bomber County' as it is often called) but to my very disappointed eye is, in fact, a soulless, display-less, character-less museum created, by the looks of it, by thin-spectacles- wearing, 'woke' advertising types based down in London..all working to a civil servant's turgid brief...😒
Last year Nobby & I could not get into East Kirkby as the production crew from 'All Creatures Great & Small' TV show were on site for a day of filming, (and what a set to film on!), so we popped over to inspect that Bomber Command Centre.. and frankly wished we hadn't..for as I say, it is soul-less & somewhat arrogant and, to my mind, has nothing to commend itself in terms of historical displays and the telling of the Bomber Command story in Lincolnshire..!
No unforms, medals and very little kit that I could discern, (but plenty of videos of awkward-looking young actors in ill-fitting RAF uniforms speaking former air crew's written lines) and disgracefully, in one display, there is even a 'woke apology' for the RAF's bombing of Germany.. resulting in the feeling that this whole project was a total waste of the huge amount of money so obviously raised from the 'great and the good' to create & build it..and I wondered how such a fine idea had gone so badly off-track in its final delivery..?
The reason I mention The Lincoln Bomber Command Centre herein, (and I that declined to write another of my Trip Advisor reviews after our visit.. as I had nothing positive to report), is that apart from hoping to prevent other RAF enthusiasts from wasting their money on a visit there, (and possibly feeling similarly upset as I subsequently was), is that the eye-watering sums of money raised for that Bomber Command museum could, (and frankly should), have been more wisely invested over at East Kirkby.. helping to get 'Just Jane' back into the air...and I am genuinely very sad that it wasn't!
To my mind The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby is the 'real home' of WW-II Bomber Command in 'Bomber County' as it simply oozes the WW-II history of the RAF in this massive county, (with some 40 plus bomber airfields created here during the war), and as you wander around the many surviving RAF buildings at East Kirkby, (including the air-bases' original & evocative chapel), you are just immersed in the county's WW-II aviation history...just wonderful!!
For not only is the privately-owned base now the home of 3 complete and very evocative WW-II aircraft, but every former remaining building and Nissen hut is full of war-time RAF & USAAF aviation artefacts & dioramas, (including a wonderful Home Front museum full of thought-provoking pieces), and so a real 'journey of discovery'..indeed in the gift shop you can even buy small original artefacts taken from 'Just Jane' as original souvenirs of your visit.
However the true spirit emanating from the East Kirkby Aviation Centre is not just the obvious love & affection that the owners, volunteers & visiting pubic have invested in this fabulous place, but there is also an international flavour of co-operation here too..for a small fact I did not know, is that after WW-II some 25 Avro Lancasters were sold or leased to the French Air Force, who flew them for a number of years.
Nobby & I learned on this latest visit is that French enthusiasts with access to parts of those original French-flown Lancaster's are now trading back some of their air-worthy parts back to East Kirkby for use in 'Just Jane's' rebuild, whilst non-airworthy parts & aircraft rebuilds are being traded back to the French in return, so they can also build and operate a ground-running example..so happily in the volunteer Lancaster community, the 'Entente Cordiale' is alive & well...'👌
So if you are an Avro Lancaster bomber-lover and are fascinated by the history of WW-II Bomber Command in Lincolnshire..do yourself a big favour. .give the new Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln a wide berth and head straight for The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby, because every visitor paying their entrance fee, (and then stopping by their cafe & gift shop too), is most happily contributing to getting 'Just Jane' back into flying condition..
.....and to my mind, there can be no better use of your summer holiday or weekend- break budgets than that..! 😎

翻译：那些多年来一直关注我无数旅行专题文章的人会知道，我通常不会再写第二篇关于我以前去过的景点酒店、岛屿或餐馆等的文章……除非有新的东西要报道……！
在这里，我很高兴地说，兰开斯特“Just Jane”的故乡（林肯郡航空遗产中心）确实有一些新的东西要报道……不仅是自从我上次访问以来展出的新文物，而且让“Just Jane”重新飞上天空，与其他两架兰开斯特飞机（在英国和加拿大）一起飞行的漫长道路也在快速推进……！
“Just Jane”（唯一一架私人拥有的兰开斯特原版飞机）的故事相当精彩，我坐在大机库的一角，看着视频中“Just Jane”的故事展开，（而我的僚机“Nobby”则在一位知识渊博的讲解员的带领下参观了收藏品中的蚊式轰炸机“木制奇迹”），我了解到了更多有趣的信息。
这真是一个相当神奇的故事，两个兄弟（英国皇家空军基地于二战期间在他们的农场上建造）为了纪念他们的空中炮手兄弟而购买了这架轰炸机，兄弟在英国皇家空军对德国的一次大规模空袭中不幸失踪，随后英国皇家空军与数千名志愿者合作，将“Just Jane”用无数辆英国皇家空军卡车运送到林肯郡，然后由英国皇家空军和民间志愿工程师作为地面跑者将其重新拼凑起来。
我不会在这里重复这个令人难以置信的故事，但我要说的是，当您参观位于东柯比的林肯郡航空遗产中心时（我知道您会去的），当您坐下来观看这段短片时，您会像我一样全神贯注。
与此同时，当我在大型机库周围闲逛时（当时是十一月初，因此中心的兰开斯特和蚊式轰炸机……目前都只能在地面上使用）安全地藏在巨大的机库中），我还很高兴地看到第三架强大的飞机在展出……这是美国陆军航空队的米切尔 B.25 双引擎中型轰炸机，涂上橄榄褐色……这是另一架了不起的收购品，它的故事（包括著名的电影场景）放在一块解说板上供所有人观看。
此外，机库内似乎还有许多新的和精彩的车辆，以补充排列在巨大机库墙壁和边缘的令人难以置信的航空收藏，所有这些都是从二战时期英国、美国和德国飞机上挖掘和回收的原始文物，这些飞机在强大的兰开夏郡上空坠毁。
此外，还有由 Barnes Wallis 设计的原始弹跳炸弹，一个展示 Guy Gibson 的原始兰开斯特飞机的仪表板和控制柱的显示器。还有一个视频解说展示，解释了“玛娜行动”，这是第二次世界大战最后一周皇家空军兰开斯特飞机向饥饿的荷兰人民空投急需的援助的至关重要的紧急行动……
我成年后的大部分时间都在研究二战历史，我不得不说，我近距离检查的所有展品都可以与其他博物馆的展品相媲美。在这里，我不得不遗憾地给我的作品……（这不是我通常做的事情！）
我必须快速补充一下，不是指这个绝对精彩且最令人回味的博物馆，而是指林肯附近新开业的轰炸机指挥中心……一座华而不实、耗资巨大的玻璃和混凝土建筑，旨在代表和纪念林肯郡（或通常称为“轰炸机县”）的英国皇家空军，但令我非常失望的是，它实际上是一个没有灵魂、没有展示、没有特色的博物馆，从外观上看，它是由伦敦那些戴着薄眼镜的“觉醒”广告人创建的……所有人都按照公务员的冗长简报工作……😒
去年，Nobby 和我无法进入东柯比，因为“万物生灵”电视节目的制作团队在现场拍摄了一天（拍摄场景真是太棒了！），所以我们顺便去检查了一下轰炸机指挥中心……坦率地说，我们希望没有……正如我所说，它没有灵魂，有些傲慢，在我看来，在历史展示和林肯郡轰炸机司令部故事的讲述方面，它没有什么值得称赞的……！
没有制服、奖章，我看不出什么装备，（但有很多视频，视频中，穿着不合身的皇家空军制服、长相尴尬的年轻演员说着前机组人员写的台词），可耻的是，在一个展览中，甚至有对皇家空军轰炸德国的“觉醒道歉”……这让人觉得整个项目完全浪费了从“伟大而善良的人”那里筹集的巨额资金来创建和建造它……我想知道，这么好的想法在最终交付时怎么会偏离轨道这么远……？
我之所以在此提到林肯轰炸机指挥中心（而我拒绝在我们参观之后再写我的 Trip Advisor 评论，因为我没有什么正面的报道），除了希望防止其他英国皇家空军爱好者浪费金钱参观那里（并且可能和我后来一样感到沮丧）之外，还因为为该轰炸机指挥中心博物馆筹集的巨额资金可以（坦率地说应该）更明智地投资在东柯比（East Kirkby）……帮助“Just Jane”重返天空……而我真的很遗憾它没有实现！
在我看来，东柯比的林肯郡航空遗产中心是“轰炸机县”二战轰炸机司令部的“真正家园”，因为它充分体现了英国皇家空军在这个庞大县的二战历史（二战期间，这里建造了 40 多个轰炸机机场），当你漫步在东柯比许多现存的英国皇家空军建筑中（包括空军基地原始而令人回味的小教堂），你就会沉浸在该县的二战航空历史中……真是太棒了！！
因为这个私人基地现在不仅是 3 架完整且极具感染力的二战飞机的所在地，而且每栋前建筑和尼森小屋都充满了战时英国皇家空军和美国陆军航空兵的航空文物和立体模型（包括一个充满发人深省的展品的精彩本土前线博物馆），因此这是一次真正的“发现之旅”……事实上，在礼品店里，你甚至可以购买从“Just Jane”中获取的小型原创文物作为参观的原始纪念品。
然而，东柯比航空中心的真正精神不仅仅是业主、志愿者和来访公众对这个美妙地方的明显热爱和感情，这里还有一种国际合作的氛围……我不知道的一个小事实是，二战后，大约有 25 架 Avro Lancaster 被出售或租借给法国空军，法国空军驾驶它们飞行了好几年。
Nobby 和我最近一次访问时了解到，拥有法国兰开斯特飞机零件的法国爱好者现在正在将部分可飞行的零件交易回东柯比，用于“Just Jane's”的重建，而将不适宜飞行的零件和飞机重建交易回法国，这样他们也可以建造和操作一架地面运行的飞机……因此，在兰开斯特志愿者社区中，‘Entente Cordiale’ 仍然活跃而健康……’👌
因此，如果您是 Avro Lancaster 轰炸机爱好者，并且对林肯郡二战轰炸机司令部的历史着迷……请帮自己一个大忙。 .远离林肯的新轰炸机指挥中心，直接前往东柯比的林肯郡航空遗产中心，因为每位支付入场费的游客（然后也会在他们的咖啡馆和礼品店停留）都非常乐意为“Just Jane”恢复飞行状态做出贡献。
.....在我看来，没有比这更好地利用你的暑假或周末假期预算了。！😎
