What a great RAF100 weekend in Lincoln!

Lincoln showcasing its heritage

By Daniel Ionescu Founder & Editor

Thousands of people lined the streets of Lincoln to enjoy the RAF100 weekend in 1940s style.

Lincoln BIG incorporated the much-loved 1940s weekend in the event with everything from wartime planes, 40s music and special performances.

Outdoor performances were organised in 13 different locations across the city, including Castle Hill, Bailgate, The Strait, Minster Yard, High Street, Brayford Wharf North, City Square and St Marks Shopping Centre.

There were also flypasts from the Lancaster and the Dakota to entertain the crowds, as well as a spectacular fireworks finale on the Brayford.
