Welcome to SILKSHEEN Photography, presenting images and reports  

         from flying events at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre.

 

L.A.H.C. operates Avro Lancaster B.VII NX611 Just Jane in taxying condition on parts of the former Royal Air Force East Kirkby; the aircraft being one of only 17 known complete Lancasters remaining in the world, with just two airworthy – one in the United Kingdom and the second in Canada – but there’s the tantalizing possibility of Just Jane returning to the skies (as G-ASXX) in the future...

 

As the resident photographer, I have kindly been granted access to the airfield and its visiting aircraft, and as a result I have a collection of images taken at various events over recent years that I thought I would share here. These pages are best viewed with Internet Explorer 9 and screen resolution 1366x768.

 

Why SILKSHEEN Photography? SILKSHEEN was the Lincolnshire airfield's tower callsign during WWII Lancaster operations by 57 & 630 Squadrons. I hope in its own small way, this website will keep this historical detail alive, and also serve as an on-line memorial to the fallen of RAF East Kirkby.

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit SILKSHEEN Photography - hopefully the images will encourage you to visit the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in the near future, but in the meantime if you have any comments or questions please visit our Facebook page.
