MEMORIAL ROOM OPENING 2019
RAF Linton-on-Ouse, built in 1937, has performed with distinction in its important roles in the RAF’s history. Apart from flying many bombing raids over enemy territory during World War Two, losing over 1300 aircrew in the process, its fighters were an integral element of the nation’s air defences from 1946 to 1957, and since then the current flying unit, No 1 Flying Training School has played a very important part in training Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircrew (mostly pilots) for their intended roles.
RAF would drawdown from RAF Linton- on-Ouse following the retirement of the Tucano aircraft in October 2019.
The Memorial Room at Linton will be opening on a pre-booked basis to members of the public on a selection of Sunday afternoons this year. It will open at 2pm for guided tours on April 7th and subsequently on the first Sunday every month, up to and including October. This year’s visits may well be the last opportunities for members of the public to view the Memorial Room prior to the RAF drawdown from the site.
Admission is free and booking can be
made by ringing 01347 847660, giving names of visitors and vehicle details. Some identification, for example a driving licence or passport, will be needed on the day of the visit to gain entry to the station. For larger groups, the recommendation is to ring a different number, 01347 847673 on Wednesdays, and bespoke arrangements can then be made for a visit, including dates and times.
For further information, contact Flight Lieutenant Mike Lumsdon, Media & Communications Officer, RAF Linton-on- Ouse on 01347 847477 or 07791 026071.
