A plaque and plinth dedicated to the crew will be unveiled during a dedication ceremony on Wednesday.
The memorial will be unveiled by Group Captain Paul Colley, the Station Commander at RAF Cranwell, and David Theaker, who farms at Hill Top,
During the ceremony a bugler will sound the last post and planes from RAF Cranwell will perform a fly past.
