A bomb disposal team has been called to a county airfield after an unexploded device was discovered.
Lincolnshire Police said that the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team is en route to Metheringham Airfield Visitors Centre to handle the device.
A force spokesman said: “A 100-metre cordon is in place from the visitors centre, and we ask that people avoid the area.”
The centre, at Westmoor Farm between Metheringham and Billinghay, is dedicated to the memory of the men and women that flew with or supported 106 Squadron RAF Bomber Command at RAF Metheringham in the Second World War.
The airfield was operational between November 1943 and spring 1946.
