RAF Memorial
A stained glass window in All Saints' Church is dedicated to the memory of airmen who died in action during the Wars.
There is a panel in Longstanton Village Institute dedicated to all the Airforce Squadrons and Army Regiments who served from Oakington - formerly RAF Oakington and later Oakington Barracks - from 1940 to 1999.
All Saints' Church is the spiritual home of
the Royal Air Force 7 Squadron
which was based at the Oakington airfield, straddling the two parishes of Longstanton and Oakington, for over four and a half years during WW2, flying 456 raids, over 5000 sorties. 78 Stirlings and 87 Lancasters never returned from their missions.
