A misguided tour of a mannequin graveyard

I realised recently I haven't posted here in a while. And maybe it's about time I did. To kick things off again, this is a post dedicated to a recent trip around a mannequin graveyard in Lincolnshire.

The graveyard isn't really a graveyard; it's a former RAF base in Lincolnshire, operational during WW2. There are many such sites throughout England, mostly repurposed or long since disappeared. On this site are around 20,000 mannequins which have been donated from various sources with the intention of recycling or being sold on. The graveyard also makes a great place for photographers like me.

On the 2nd Saturday of each month, mannikin.com opens the gates to everyone with £5 in cash.

This is a sample selection of what I captured in around 90 minutes:

Rule Brittania, Britannia wAIves the rules

Some of the mannequins are in various states of decay and in this dark corner, I spotted this one looking down and forlorn, With a little AI enhancement, this reminded me what it feels like as an Englishman just now; downtrodden, led by political idiots and a narcissistic president ruining the price of oil.
