No problem, Shack37. It is great news! Donald was interviewed on regional news and was so distraught he was having sleepless nights and off his food. Well done to all that turned up to search the field in Lincoln. Well done to the person that handed in the medals.


The volunteers also took to searching for a lost caterpillar pin belonging to veteran Daniel Nash. ......

Volunteers did uncover pieces of historic agriculture, pottery and a piece of material thought to be the skin of a Lancaster plane.

RAF Cranwell Chef Brad Williamson discovered the possible Lancaster skin.

He said: “We came to try to find the medals for Mr Nicholson. We were on the field for around 15 minutes or so when we can across some aircraft skin and a few agricultural bits.

“There was a Lancaster which crashed just across the road during the war, so we can only presume that it’s come from that.

Veteran's medals found over 100 miles from major search at Lincoln Bomber Command memorial site - The Lincolnite
