Amongst other places, I fly from a small place called Chilbolton in Hampshire. What is on clear view is the memorial to those who died flying from there - there are two annual services at the memorial - Remembrance Sunday, and for Arnhem - two of the only three occasions of the year when we don't fly (the third is Music in the Air, because of the TRA around Middle Wallop).
No, there's no display about the history, for that you have to walk down to the Chilbolton village shop who will happily sell you two volumes of the history of the airfield by Eleanor Lockyear.
