The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) in Lincoln continues its acclaimed Lecture and Supper Series on Thursday 8th October with The Dams Raid: Remembrance and Reconciliation — an evening exploring one of the most famous chapters in RAF history.

Official 617 Squadron History

Why Lincolnshire Remembers

Lincolnshire’s connection to Bomber Command runs deep, with the county having been home to dozens of RAF airfields during the Second World War. The IBCC exists precisely to preserve and share that history, and its Lecture and Supper Series is one of the best ways to engage with it directly.
