A strong reminder of the RAF station at Manby is given by this fine memorial at the south-east corner of the crossroads on B1200 (the boundary between Grimoldby and Manby)
 
RAF Manby opened 1938 and closed 1974. During WW2 it was the base for the Air Armaments School; in 1960s it hosted the RAF Flying School. The plane on display is a Jet Provost from the Flying School days.
