"Polish Bomber Squadrons Centre - RAF Ingham is a globally unique project to remember and celebrate the remarkable lives of the men and women of the Polish Air Force Bomber Squadrons, flying alongside the RAF during WW2."

In 2023 our fantastic team of local volunteers were awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.
