Ghost Hunting @ RAF Binbrook Nov 16th 2024

R.A.F BINBROOK
R.A.F Binbrook was a Bomber Command station during World War II. and sits high in the Wolds with a commanding view over Lincolnshire it was established in 1940 and was in service for almost half a century - home to the legendary Lancaster Bombers right through to the Lightning jets.

The airbase opened despite being unfinished and soon became one of the biggest Wellington Bomber airbases in the country. Eventually it played host to probably its most famous guests the Royal Australian Air Force and the Lancaster Bombers.

Binbrook was used in recent years for filming part of the blockbuster Memphis Belle. We will be spending the night investigating the old officers mess, with areas including Theatre, Tunnels, Old sleeping quarters and more.

Ghost sightings include an officer in Full RAF uniform seen in one of the offices, who disappears as soon as he is seen. An Australian worker on RAF Binbrook base who blew himself up trying to sabotage a Lancaster bomber during World War Two. Two, a wartime Australian N.C.O armourer known as Clubfoot, who the tale has it had been injured by the carelessness of a pilot, and had sought revenge by attaching an explosive device to the pilot's Lancaster bomb-load, but had blown himself up in the process.

A man whose real name is Sergeant Sinclair, is said to be seen walking around outside and his ghost was seen on the runway, arms waving wildly in the air. He is frequently seen limping along the perimeter track, or attempting to flag down vehicles. A man in uniform named locally as George who is seen frequently and the playful spirit of a young boy who often opens all the windows at night, hides keys, and turns lights on and off.
