Aerial View of airfield in Lincolnshire. Can you identify?

Hi all - my first post. I wonder if anyone is able to identify the airfield from this photo. The plane is clearly American and I have 7 other pictures on the ground showing American and RAF personnel with officers giving a speech from a podium in a hanger, crew lined up before planes etc. I can post these if necessary. They are in a family album that I have inherited. My father came over from N. Ireland to enlist in the RAF during WWII. He met my mother at RAF Manby, near Louth, Lincolnshire and they married after the war. Unfortunately my father died when I was very young and my mother is also now deceased so no answers there I'm afraid. I have other pictures - one is of my father winning an RAF football trophy playing for RAF Market Stainton also in Lincolnshire. Other stations I can recall my mother mentioning were Kirmington and the only one not in Lincolnshire - RAF Marham. I know my father got to Australia during this time and judging by the picture of snake charmers he went via India!! He was not 18 until 1943 so I assume these pictures (which look to form a set) were taken after that date.

Thank you very much for that information. I found this on RAF Mareham site -

"On the 9th June 1947 nine Superfortress bombers of the 340th Bomb Squadron, 97th Bombardment Group, 15th USAAF landed at Marham for a weeks goodwill visit to Britain. On arrival officers and airmen were greeted by Lord Tedder Air Marshal RAF, Sir Hugh Saunders AOC Bomber Command, General Clayton Bissell US Military Attache in London. The following day members of the press were given a flight in a B-29, flying low over Ipswich, London, Sussex Downs, Brighton, Southampton, New Forest, Dartmoor, Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge before flying home to Marham"

Maybe some of those people are in my other photograph which would confirm. There are 5 B-29s visible in the attached photo -

The first photo shows a B-29 flying over the village of Great Bentley in Essex.

As well as Marham USAF B29s did visit Scampton.

How do you know these things!!??

Gt. Bentley is renowned for its large village green, which is clearly seen in the photo...
It also means the plane is flying almost due south at the time the photo was taken.

Great pictures thanks for sharing, certainly looks like Sir Hugh Saunders addressing the audience in the third pic.

Years ago whilst discussing the CCRC at Bovingdon, mention was made that the first B29 to visit the UK landed at Bovingdon in either late'44 or early '45.
