Lynx to be based at RAF Wainfleet!!
Lynx to be based at RAF Wainfleet!!
On BBC Radio Lincolnshire this morning they were talking to the owner of the former RAF Wainfleet buildings which are now or are being converted into holiday lets. He has recently taken delivery of a Lynx which he plans to restore the cockpit area and put a sofa bed in the back for kids to play/stay in while there. Seems a cool idea, though no idea on which frame or model, if I heard correctly I think he said it came from Suffolk.

Factual and to the point, possibly with a bit of humour - you may need to look that up - if you have the time
Not the first helicopter to become holiday accommodation. Hopefully won't be mistreated.

Re: Lynx to be based at RAF Wainfleet!!
I'm sorry my friend, I thought most on the group would be aware both the Lynx and RAF Wainfleet had had there day so tongue was firmly in cheek with header (obviously I thought, sorry). So although factually correct and probably of interest to most in the group I am sorry my "stupidly misleading" header offended you, and that I wasted your time reading it and obviously that I wasted even more time for you to let me know you had wasted your time. It was meant as an interesting aircraft based post, at an interesting former RAF airfield, for potentially and aviation based holiday for an aviation enthusiast.

Planebase has this as being at Sproughton in Suffolk - so that ties in nicely.
Re: Lynx to be based at RAF Wainfleet!!
Stayed at RAF Wainfleet earlier this year - would recommend it. Lynx would be a nice addition.
