Militaria Collection

The display of militaria at the Forties Experience at Lincolnsfields is mainly the private collection of Mr. Phil Knight – a Living History enthusiast who also supports the children's charity at the centre.

In loaning his personal collection for this public display Mr. Knight adds greatly to the interest to be derived from a visit to the project.

Other individuals have also loaned specific items related to their particular living history interest – First Special Forces and British Airborne being two examples.
