SAWTRY HISTORY SOCIETY
The next meeting of Sawtry History
Society is on Thursday 16th July 2026 when the talk will be on "A History of the 457th Bomb Group at RAF Glatton Pt 2. RAF Glatton was actually Conington Airfield but was called that to avoid confusion over the radio with Connington near Cambridge and RAF Coningsby. The talk will be given by 457th Bomb Group local historian Jerry Wright. Jerry has given a talk to us before which we called Pt 1. As there was so much information he agreed to come back and do a part 2 for us. Visitors welcome. Details as above.
