On July 21st 2024, on what was the technical site of the former RAF Kings Cliffe airfield, a new museum opened that pays tribute to all those who were based at the former airfield in World War 2. The museum is only small, but it holds fascinating stories about Kings Cliffe and some of those who flew from it during that time.

It details the history of the airfield, has a number of artefacts found on the site and some donated items. Whilst small, it is indeed informative and is well worth supporting if you are in the area.

I attended the official opening of the museum and was impressed by the whole site which includes both a cafe and beautifully presented grounds.

To access the museum, which is not far from the Glenn Miller memorial, you have enter via the holiday park that caused a good deal of controversy before it was built. You then travel right round the single track road where you come across the museum and the cafe. Entrance is free as is the parking.

With further help and support the museum could well grow, and I for one, hope it does as it’s a great story to be told. As the saying goes, from little acorns mighty oak trees grow!

The Museum has a Facebook account detailing their opening times and events.
