Well after several years of collecting lightning and Raf binbrook memorobilia i was wondering if any one out there had anything Binbrook related in there collection.
I am currently collecting information on this base to put either into a website or maybe a publication.
I am covering the airfield from its building to its eventual closure in 95.
I am trying to find any pictures of the base,Buildings and aircraft as well as contact with any person who ever served there who could help me with any information on this once proud base.
I have collected quite a lot of artefacts over the years but still trying to find anything at all which relates to the base.
If there is any other persons out there who is interested in the base i can do copys of my collection too for them.
I hope somewhere out there maybe ex Bin personnel or someone who might be able to put me in contact with any ex people.
Thanks in Advance everyone for any help .
Cheers

Check out http://www.air-britain.com/ as they hold 120 photographs dating from the 1960s. You will have to observe copyright, but in most cases permission to use these images shouldn’t be a problem.
Also check out the RAF Museum and Imperial War Museum (five stills including: http://www.iwmcollections.org.uk/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpcgi.exe?AC=GET_RECORD&XC=/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpcgi.exe&BU=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iwmcollections.org.uk%2FqryPhotoImg.asp&TN=Uncat&SN=AUTO30760&SE=2683&RN=2&MR=25&TR=0&TX=1000&ES=0&CS=1&XP=&RF=PhotoImgResults&EF=&DF=PhotoImgDetailed&RL=0&EL=0&DL=0&NP=1&ID=&MF=&MQ=&TI=0&DT=&ST=0&IR=218671&NR=0&NB=0&SV=0&BG=0&FG=0&QS= which might be good for the cover…
Good Luck
