Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, in East Kirkby, East Lindsey, is a living wartime airfield museum built around the Avro Lancaster NX611 'Just Jane', the only place in the UK where you can ride in a Lancaster Bomber. You can also see the Mosquito HJ711, take interior tours, browse exhibitions, vehicles and archives, or relax in the wartime NAAFI building with food and drink. It suits aviation enthusiasts, history lovers and families, with free grass parking, dog-friendly grounds on a short lead, and opening Tuesday to Saturday. The site is closed on Mondays and Sundays. Thorpe Culvert station is 8.4 miles away, and with 26 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's easy to combine with an overnight stay nearby.
