Biography
T N Lincoln passed through Peterborough East Station and signed the visitors’ book on 28 December 1916. He signed the book ‘AID Norwich‘ which is thought to refer to the Aeronautical Inspectorate Division and wrote:
“When years of war have glided by,
And on this page you cast your eye,
Please think that it was a quiet sincere,
Who spent 3 glorious hours here.
With Kindest regards to all concerned”.
The Aeronautical Inspectorate Division headquarters were at Farnborough and carried out inspections of aircraft and supplies of all kinds connected with flying such as, balloons, hangars, tents, machine tools, raw materials, fabrics and a variety of general equipment. Many trades were involved in these detailed inspections requiring a vast technical knowledge in all areas. To find out more follow this link http://bit.ly/2jZ8K8I
