Wings to the Past

Wings to the Past is a collaborative archaeology project which builds resilience among Service (RAF) personnel and their wider dependant family in Lincolnshire.

We saw the benefits of archaeology for Serving personnel and their families and the programme started the next summer.

The start of Wings to the Past! Just sat down and found Digging for Britain from 2018 on BBC2. This was the dig that started it all! James seen here was the inspiration, spending a week with his Serving parent who had been away with the RAF a lot. #makingmemories #wingstothepast

Today is world mental health day and @wingstothepast aims to support personal resilience through archaeology. Our participants tell us how spending time digging and doing something different has great positive effects.
