Lissett is a small village in the heart of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The village is surrounded by countryside yet it has easy access to the seaside towns of Bridlington & Hornsea and the historic market towns of Beverley & Driffield. It was also home to Bomber Command's 158 Squadron during the 2nd World War.

The airfield was officially opened in February 1943 and was operational until 1946. On any given day there were 20 Handley Page Halifax bombers on standby.

The 158 Squadron Association was formed in 1948 and still has more than 400 members worldwide.

Members of the association hold a reunion weekend every September at a memorial in Lissett's St James of Compostella churchyard.

The church itself was built in 1876 but some of the Norman work from its predecessor was used. It is said to contain the oldest inscribed bell in Europe which dates to 1254.
