The aim of this section is to provide an overview of aircraft types operated throughout the century, as flown by Lincolnshire-based units. This list is under development and far from complete. Not all of the aircraft types listed will have been operated from RAF Lincolnshire bases but have been associated with a squadron or unit which was based in Lincolnshire at some point in its history. Some types and manufacturers have particular ties to the county, eg the Lancaster Bomber and Handley Page, who had a factory in Lincoln. Lincolnshire-based aircraft manufacturers are listed separately.
This page contains an alphabetical listing of aircraft types. Under each type is a list of the squadrons on this site which operated it. These are all linked to the relevant on-site pages. Navigate this page using the links in the table below. The list in the right hand column links to a page describing each aircraft type in slightly more detail.
A separate series of pages has information on aircraft books currently available.
