Ratch Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Work started on an airfield at King's Cliffe in 1941. Originally known as Wansford, it was RAF Wittering's second relief landing ground. The Air Ministry renamed the airfield RAF Kingscliffe, contracting the name of the nearby village. It served both the RAF and USAAF.No 266 ‘Rhodesia’ SquadronNo 616 Auxiliary ‘South Yorkshire’ SquadronNo 485 Squadron RNZAFNo 93 SquadronUSAAF 350th Fighter Group, 347th Squadron347FS, 350FG, 8AF61st & 62nd Fighter Squadrons, 56th Fighter Group, 8th USAAFNo 91 (Nigeria) SquadronNo 7 (Pilots) Advanced Flying UnitNo 349 Squadron55th, 77th & 79th Fighter Squadrons, 20th Fighter Grouphttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714809.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714806.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714804.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714807.jpgThese aircraft are from the 77th Fighter Squadron, 20th Fighter Group, USAAFhttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714811.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714812.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714814.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714816.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714817.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1312/4776356/20071953/410714818.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
