HISTORY

Time Capsule competition launched

Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire are encouraging young people to make a record of their area's history.

The aim is to explore and compile information on their local area’s aviation and associated airfields past or present, as part of a new competition. In addition, the county’s schools are being given the opportunity to record their class, school and current local environment information, for inclusion in a time capsule.

AHL aims to secure entries from each District Council area of Lincolnshire. The capsules will have an embossed lid with the name of the district, the school, the year laid down and the year to be opened. Dave Harrigan, AHL’s Outreach and Learning Officer, says, “We are very pleased to have been able to source the time capsules locally. They are being ordered from the Ridgequest foundry, a small family business based in the village of Croft, near Skegness.”

Entry is open to all schools, colleges and youth groups. Entry forms can be obtained from david@aviationheritagelincolnshire.com.
