Title

The Wickenby Register Newsletter

Description

A collection of 26 issues of the Wickenby Register Newsletter. Established in 1980 by ex-aircrew members of the RAF Wickenby 12 and 626 Squadrons. The register researched the history of the two squadrons, collected photographs, operational record books, and flying log books, as well as other important documents which became the basis of the Wickenby Archive and the RAF Wickenby Memorial Collection. In 2011, the Wickenby Register was disbanded and re-established as the Friends of the Wickenby Archives.
