  4. Photo appeal over World War One Lincoln tank memorialpublished at 17:52 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2019

    An appeal is being made for photographs of Lincoln's first ever tank memorial.

    Tank memorial

    In 1919, a total of 240 World War One tanks were given to towns and cities across the UK, including Lincoln.

    It was placed in Wickham Gardens, but scrapped in the 1920s.

    The memorial pictured above was built on the Tritton road roundabout in 2015 - near to the site of the factory where the first prototypes were built.

    Richard Pullen, from Friends of Lincoln Tank, says they can't find a photo anywhere:

    Quote Message

    It's becoming quite embarrassing for Friends of Lincoln Tank that we don't have a photograph of the Lincoln tank. We've got photographs of the one in Glasgow and for all over, but not Lincoln. We've tried our absolute best over the years."

  5. Next-gen drones to be 'very different' from current modelspublished at 17:22 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2019

    A new generation of swarming drones will have to be very different from those currently flown from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, according to a military expert.

    Drone

    This week the Defence Secretary spoke about developing "swarm" squadrons to confuse and overwhelm enemy air defence systems.

    However, Dr Peter Lee, from the University of Portsmouth, says the military can't just re-purpose the current reaper drones which are piloted from Lincolnshire:

    Quote Message

    It would have to be much smaller, more agile. That's where the difficulty lies, weighing up agility, the distance they have to fly, the time they spend in the air and how you're going to power these things...It's not easily achieved."

    A Lincolnshire MP could be the first in the country to be deselected over his stance on Brexit.

    Nick Boles, the Conservative MP for Grantham and Stamford, is facing calls for his deselection from within his own party.

    Mr Boles wants the country to delay its departure from the EU if a deal isn't reached and has threatened to leave the party if the government backs a "no deal" scenario.

    Vice President of the local Conservative association Martin Hill says the MP may not get the support he needs to stay:

    It's very much in the balance at the moment. He's repeatedly threatened to withdraw the whip and he's quite clearly said he's going to stick to it. I think it's all back to being in tune with your electorate."

    Quote Message

    There are too many homeless people in our society these days. They do not need to be treated in this way. The way you treated them is such that only an immediate sentence of imprisonment is justified."
