RESEARCH
DON'T FORGET!!! If your visit to Wickenby is for research purposes and you wish to view documents held in the archive this can only be done if a volunteer is present. Please arrange to meet with a volunteer either by email or telephoning first. |
Family History is an increasingly popular hobby and we at Wickenby are well equipped to help, particularly if you are looking for information regarding aircrew.
We have a comprehensive database of all operational flights from Wickenby which gives information on target, aircraft and crew plus much more. When cross referenced with the Operational Record Books this can lead to a mine of other documents and photographs. If you are researching a family member, a particular crew or aircraft get in touch with us by email and our volunteers will find whatever information we have and pass this on to you, or you could arrange to meet one of our volunteers at Wickenby.
Research is a two way street and if you have information which we could add to the archive this could help someone else's research project. On occasions we have come across people looking for information on the same crew and put them in touch with each other which is obviously to the benefit of both parties.
Our Requests section (below) is available to everyone, if you would like to add a request please get in touch and we will try to help or alternatively take a look and see if you can help someone else.
