点评:I'm an aviation nut basically, so had to check this museum out while in the area exploring family roots. A lot of the heavy bomber squadrons were located in Lincolnshire during the war and hence the rationale for this exceptional museum. It's a challenging subject to showcase - because of the effects of mass bombing on German civilians. I think it's a hard thing for both sides to talk about and certainly many vets kept to themselves for a long time... a hard thing to process, as you can imagine.
They do as good a job as could be done to give a balanced portrayal of both the effects and the men who flew the missions (and the civilians backing them). I'm glad that they built this before the last of those men left us. One thing is certain: the bravery of the crews was unprecedented and extraordinary.
The gift shop is also very good, as is the cafeteria, plus, the staff are really nice and helpful. I hope that they keep expanding the displays because there's a lot to cover.
翻译:我基本上是个航空迷,所以在探寻家族根源的这段时间,一定要去参观一下这家博物馆。二战期间,林肯郡驻扎着许多重型轰炸机中队,这也正是这家杰出博物馆存在的意义。由于大规模轰炸对德国平民的影响,这是一个很难展现的主题。我想,对交战双方来说,这都是一个难以启齿的话题,许多老兵也长时间将这段经历深藏心底……你可以想象,这是一段难以承受的记忆。
博物馆尽力做到了平衡地展现轰炸的影响以及执行任务的飞行员(和支持他们的平民)。我很高兴他们在最后一位飞行员离世之前建成了这座博物馆。有一点是肯定的:机组人员的勇气是前所未有的,令人敬佩的。
礼品店和自助餐厅也都很不错,而且工作人员非常友善热情。我希望他们能不断扩充展品,因为还有很多内容值得讲述。
