Teave
Kiired faktid: Rahvusvaheline pommitusväejuhatuse keskus asub kohal, mis kunagi oli osa RAF Canwick Hillist, radarijaamast Teise maailmasõja ajal. Selle 31 meetri kõrgune vapustav mälestusspiraal on täpselt joondatud osutama lähedal asuva RAF Scamponi lennurajale, kus asus kuulus Dambustersi eskadrill.
Esiletõstmised: Seisa mälestusmüüri keskel ja näed 57 861 langenud lenduri nime kogu Rahvaste Ühendusest kivisse raiutuna, see arv võrdub pommitusväejuhatuse kogukaotusega. Spiraali vari libiseb päeva jooksul üle nimede, olles tahtlikult kujundatud nii, et iga nime puudutab mingil hetkel pimedus ja valgus.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Visit the Peace Garden behind the main building for a quiet reflective space most visitors rush past.
- Bring binoculars or a zoom lens to read the higher panels of the memorial wall from the viewing platform.
- The cafe serves excellent Lincolnshire sausages and locally sourced fare, worth planning a meal around.
- Check the website before visiting as the site occasionally closes for private ceremonies and commemorative events.
