I know it is a bit cynical but why is Lincolnshire always referred to as “Bomber County”?

Gods own County (Yorkshire) and the North East had just as a big an impact on the bomber war but they are never credited as such and their airfields now largely lay forgotten. Perhaps it was because it was No4 group flying the less glamorous Halibag or that No6 Group was Canadians that is the reason.

Just wondering.
