A section of the xxxth Bombardment Group of Strategic Air Command would be coming in with their B-50s for an indefinite period. Why Valley and not East Anglia (that unsinkable aircraft carrier), which was their natural habitat, we never knew.

They up-staked and vanished as mysteriously as they had come. Where to ? Don't know.

A wee shoogle with something that rhymes brings up 2d Bomb Wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which shows that the 2(n)d Bomb Wing were stationed at Mildenhall Aug-Dec 51 and Upper Heyford between Sep-Dec 51. I don't know if these dates fit in in with your your latest great story, and haven't had time to dip into the records of the individual squadrons mentioned, but there may be a clue or two in there somewhere.
