Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre is a volunteer-run museum telling the story of RAF Metheringham and 106 Squadron through original wartime buildings, artefacts and displays. You can explore a restored Douglas C47 Dakota aircraft, including its cockpit, view a quarter-scale Lancaster model with a huge wingspan, and visit the Memorial Room and Garden for quiet reflection. A new project is underway to complete a full-scale Lancaster simulator on site. There's a café and shop, plus wartime shelters and the Ration Store to explore. It suits those interested in WW2 history and RAF heritage. Located in Martin, North Kesteven, with Metheringham station 1.9 miles away and 12 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it makes for an easy addition to a nearby stay.
