History intro paragraph.
The airfield at Kimbolton was originally a fighter base for the RAF. The airfield was handed over to the 379th Bomb Group during WW2. The group flew B-17s and the group was signified by the letter K within a triangle on its tail.
In July the new display for the 379th Bomb Group was unveiled and throughout the weekend the display attracted a lot of interest.
The display is being done as a tribute to the aircrews and personnel that were stationed here in World War 2, and information has been gathered by a couple of the marshals in their spare time over the last 2 years.
As well as the articles, there are also items that have been found around the circuit and surrounding area, such as bullets, a bomb shackle and cockpit instruments. More and more things are being found and the area is likely to grow in both info and relics from the war.
