Brookenby is a small civil parish in West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside just to the south of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The settlement sits on and around the concrete remains of the former RAF Binbrook airfield, so the wide runways and perimeter tracks are an ever‑present reminder of its military past and give the area a distinctive, open landscape compared with neighbouring villages.
After the airbase closed in the 1980s the married‑quarters and service buildings gradually became a civilian village, creating a close‑knit community with a strong aviation heritage and occasional commemorative events. The local economy is largely rural and commuter‑based, with many residents working in nearby market towns such as Market Rasen or travelling to Lincoln, while village amenities and community groups sustain a quietly active social life.
