A bomb disposal team has been called to an aviation museum after an "unexploded device" was discovered, Lincolnshire Police said.

It was found at the Airfield Visitors Centre near the village of Metheringham.

A 100m cordon has been put in place and police have asked people to avoid the area.

The museum charts the history of the 106 Squadron of RAF Bomber Command, ​which flew from the former base during World War Two.
