Welcome to The Metheringham Collection, a small selection of images and documents from our archive that we have been able to digitise* and publish online. In some cases we know quite a lot about the photo or document and its subject matter. Where we have suitably accurate and reliable information we have captioned the item using the relevant data. However, we have a lot of photos about which we know very little and this is where you can help. Rather than keeping them hidden in our archive, we have decided to publish certain interesting images even when we cannot accurately caption them. If you recognise anything in these photos we would love to hear from you, especially if you have additional information about the people, places and aircraft they capture. Similarly, although we have captioned the content in good faith, there may be errors. Please help us correct any errors you find using the form at Contact Us. A substantial part of our photographic archive is essentially a mystery; one we hope you might be able to help us solve.
The photos are loosely grouped in to galleries covering personnel, aircraft, station life, special events and incidents of note. Please explore our collection and let us know if you have any additional information about these images using the Contact Us page. We will be adding lots more images over the coming months so pop back from time to time to see what's new. We'll publicise the addition of significant new material via social media. Click on the gallery below to see images and documents in that section. Enjoy.

If you believe the copyright of an image belongs to someone else then please let us know and we will correct this and if requested to do so we will remove the image(s) from the collection as soon as possible.
* We have been able to digitise part of our photographic and document archive with the generous support of The University of Lincoln and The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) Digital Archive. Lincoln University have been particularly supportive in supplying equipment and training without which we would not have made such great progress over the past 12 months. It is our intention to provide a sub-set of our collection to the IBCC Digital Archive for them to publish in their own online galleries.
