A memorial on the site of the former RAF Lissett airfield, from which the 158 Squadron took off and played an important role during World War 2. There are twelve wind turbines on the site, with eleven turbines named after aircraft and the twelfth to commemorate the six airmen who perished on 2 July 1943, due to an explosion in the bomb dump. The six airmen who perished due to the Bomb Dump incident were: Corporal Leslie Fielding, Aircraftman 1 Lewis Moore, Aircraftman 1 William Mithan, Aircraftman 1 Kenneth Taylor, Aircraftman 2 Robert Mills and Aircraftman 1 Jack Laycock.

The RAF Memorial at Lisset airport was unveiled in 2009 and commemorates the 851 men who died from 158 squadron who were stationed here in the Second World War.

The Seven eight-foot tall airmen are hard to miss. The names of all 851 men are inscribed on either side of the figures. It is a very striking memorial when silhouetted against the sky.
