I had been before many years ago, this little museum has a great deal of history, next time we will take a picnic and spend more time there, the guides are fantastic, knowledgeable .
The whole place is very welcoming.
A lot to see, a lot to appreciate.
One of the best days out I have had for a long time. Highly recommended for all ages.

Found this lovely little museum by pure happenstance. Found the memorial first (it's just down the road) then found the museum. You'll need to check the FB pages as it's not open all year round. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Will go again.

Unfortunately when we visited on Wednesday 29th June 2024 it was closed.
This was despite information online to the contrary.
We were very disappointed and visited Sywell Aviation museum instead.

An amazing museum with such an amazing history about the SOE and the USAAF bomber crews dropping people and supplies behind enemy lines. Great staff and amazing information about the history of the airbase which you can walk around the remaining parts after visiting the museum.

Small but very detailed Museum about the US Carpet Bagger missions to fly allied agents into Europe during World War 2 and later on the use of Harrington air base as a cold war Thor missile station. Staffed entirely by volunteers. Be warned the café is really only tea and biscuits. The whole museum is only open in the summer months.
Staff were very enthusiastic but the displays themselves were a bit jumbled and not logically laid out. There is almost too much to read next to each item. But a really, really interesting place especially if you are into SOE, spy missions and WW2 history.

I've given the museum 5 stars, don't be mislead into thinking that this is a modern multi media Disney type place, far from it.
It's put together by enthusiastic amateurs with the resources they could muster.
The point is, that this is an important piece of fairly modern history, Betty and her husband now act as volunteer guides and lived locally as children, they saw the airfield operating when 4,000 service men got over 60 planes into the air delivering supplies and SOE agents behind the lines in occupied Europe. Their recollections are priceless.
Check opening times before you go.

Excellent. Go round by yourself and watch the video they have to show.

A hidden Gem! Amazing history of the WW2 USAF 'carpetbaggers' and SOE operations. Fantastic array of exhibits and, artifacts and history with friendly and helpful volunteer staff set in the original HQ building. Little cafe doing drinks, snacks and the like too. Allow a good hour+ if you're visiting.

This is a great volunteer led museum and the friendly people who run it have a wealth of information to share.The museum building was part of a ww2 airbase used for clandestine spy operations. I found the information about those courageous people's experiences in ww2 very interesting. Also enjoyed the exhibition about the cold war. Well worth a visit.
