...although Lincolnshire has a huge aviation tourism industry with many Heritage Centres coordinated by Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council. This brings a good few million pounds into the Lincs local economy. The increasing of Scampton's existing Heritage Centre into a central museum close to Lincoln is a further attempt by the Council to increase this tourism - as evidenced by the new Bomber Command Memorial and visitor centre which opens (for the memorial at least) next month. BBMF visitor centre is already a partner in AHL and by moving to Scampton it puts all the display assets under one roof so to speak combined with a larger aviation museum. Drawing visitors to here will undoubtedly increase the footfall to the other smaller heritage centres that already exist. It makes sense.
