This is the "Lincolnshire Bomber Command Memorial" and is dedicated to those who flew from Lincolnshire within Bomber Command....it is only those lost flying from Lincolnshire airbases who will be commemorated. There are a few open ended questions to which I do not know the answer -
Is this just Lincolnshire based squadrons?
Will it include losses from Squadrons not usually based in Lincolnshire but detached here?
Will it include losses from those squadrons based in Lincolnshire but aircraft departing from a base outside Lincolnshire?
In any event, the provision of the list of names will be most difficult depending upon which "rule" is used for Lincolnshire aircrew. Some may well be missed and others added in error. It is fortunate that the names are not going to be listed on the spire as omissions etc would be very difficult to correct once in place. I heard that the names will be based upon those in the book of remembrance in Lincoln Cathedral which will indeed be a good start point for accuracy.
