The Fulbeck village sign pays tribute to the two roles played by the nearby former WWII airfield. Firstly the parachutes refer to the USAAF Troop Carrier Groups that took personnel into battle on D-Day, D-Day and the Rhine Crossing. The Lancaster refers to its subsequent usage by RAF Bomber Command NB: A non aviation image is depicted on the reverse side
