Association Museum and Archive

A small 550 Squadron museum occupies a couple of rooms of the North Killingholme Village Hall. This contains an archive of material such as squadron history, photographs, memorabilia, etc. There are also some items, and a very beautiful stained glass window, in St Denys' Church just a minute from the Village Hall. Contact Mike Leeman for details.

The Air Ministry requisitioned "Low Farm" in 1942 from George Turner's father, and it was on this land that the airfield was built. For this Turner (Sen.) was paid in 1946 at 1939 value. After the war the fields were rented out for grazing, and in 1963 sold back to Turner (Sen.) at the 1963 value.
