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.
