ABOUT THIS SITE
This website was created in order to record the events and the exploits of those who were at Fiskerton during the war years. It also serves as a tribute to those persons and is a source of reference for anyone who has an interest in the airfield.
Joint webmasters are: Martin Nichols and David Briggs.
Martin Nichols has had a life-long interest in the wartime exploits of Bomber Command. Born in Bomber County, he spent many hours visiting and researching the old airfields which litter Lincolnshire-having a particular interest in Fiskerton.
David's interest is a result of his Uncle's wartime service at Fiskerton where he flew many operations as a Radio Operator with 576 Squadron.
David has spent many hours collecting the airfield records relating to the airfield and the squadrons which were there during the war. He is an excellent source of interest for anyone researching a relative who served at this airfield.
The images of Fiskerton were taken by Martin Nichols in 1968 and 2006.
The wartime images were copied, with permission, from the MOD Bomber Command website and ww2images.com.
The aircrew images were kindly donated by former aircrew or descendants of former aircrew and ground crew. The image of East Kirkby's Just Jane was taken by Martin Nichols and published with the full permission of The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirkby.
