Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre is dedicated to the men
and women who served at RAF Metheringham from November 1943
until the end of the Second World War. An Arts Council
England accredited museum, we preserve and conserve the
collection of artefacts, care for the wartime buildings,
educate the public about the story of and act as a memorial
to 106 Squadron, RAF Metheringham, 5 Group, Bomber Command
and the Royal Air Force during World War Two ensuring all
involved are remembered.
We also reflect the
aeromedical aspect of the Dakota aircraft; we feel it is
appropriate that KG651 wears a United States Army Air Forces
(USAAF) identification on its left side. This is in honour
of those injured United States Service Personnel who
required `casevac` and repatriation back to the US via RAF
Metheringham by the C-47s of the 52nd Troop Transport
Carrier Wing (52nd TCW).
