RAF Fulbeck was a Troop Carrier airfield of the 82nd. The 82nd's Lincolnshire airfields were RAF Fulbeck, RAF Folkingham, RAF Barkston Heath and RAF Saltby. USAAF 434th Troop Carrier Group arrived on 7 Oct 1943

A memorial has been placed at the site by the Bomber Airfields Society.

The control tower, preserved until the 21st Century in a fenced enclosure and in good repair, was demolished in the summer of 2006.

J A Campbell, a mid-upper gunner who later served in 463 Sqn RAAF and 61 Sqn RAF has contributed his memories of a short spell of gunnery training in 1943 at Fulbeck to the site.
