The Museum has a large collection of genuine artifacts, photographs and documents on display,
which gives a flavor to what has happened here since the station opened in 1938.
The first floor is dedicated to the Royal Air Force, United States Army Air Force and British Army
(Queens Division) while the second floor is dedicated entirely to the 91st Bomb Group (H).
Probably the most famous of all the USAAF 8th air force bomb groups.
Bassingbourn was also one of the first Canberra jet training bases.
In the 1950’s & 60’s it was home to 231 OCU, training the Canberra aircrews for front line service.
