A memorial spire, walls, peace gardens, and visitor centre that mark the service and sacrifice of World War II aircrew, ground crew and support staff who lost their lives whilst serving with Bomber Command. The International Bomber Command Centre includes a 31-metre tall memorial spire and walls that feature the names of all those who lost their lives during the Second World War serving or supporting Bomber Command. There are also two peace gardens: one Lincolnshire and one International. An educational interpretation centre with full visitor facilities includes a state-of-the-art exhibition over three galleries telling the project's core themes: Recognition, Remembrance and Reconciliation. The exhibition includes the first-hand testimonies of those who survived. The IBCC, via its digital archive, delivers the most comprehensive coverage of Bomber Command globally, including the contribution and effect on over 60 nations. The view through the Memorial Spire leads directly to Lincoln Cathedral, reflecting the view that let those of Bomber Command know they were almost home from their missions, and importantly for those who failed to return flying from Lincolnshire, provided their last view of their home. The International Bomber Command Centre is located 2.6 miles to the south of Lincoln city centre and is close to Canwick and Bracebridge Heath villages. The postcode for the IBCC is LN4 2HQ, and for those using the app What 3 Words, the IBCC can be located at: noise.rubble.soccer By Car - Access to the site is from Canwick Avenue B1131 (opposite a Premier Inn and Beefeater Restaurant).
