| How to get there: |
The museum is accessed by a roadway from off the Harrington to Lamport road adjacent to the bridge over the A14 (M1-A1 link road). The museums are about a mile down the roadway from this junction. Although the roadway is relatively narrow it has several passing places and is suitable for coaches. |
| Collection: |
Displays and exhibits within the museum depict the history of the airfield and show the work carried out by both the RAF at Tempsford and the 801st (Provisional) / 492nd Bomb Group USAAF, especially during Operation Carpetbagger, and their secret missions to deliver agents and supplies to resistance groups in Occupied Europe during the Second World War.
