Kimbolton School welcomed American actor Gary Sinise in May for a special visit as part of a documentary project exploring RAF Kimbolton’s legacy.
Best known to many for his iconic role as Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, Sinise visited Kimbolton School, and the local area, while tracing the story of his uncle, who was stationed at RAF Kimbolton. Located close to the school grounds, RAF Kimbolton was used by the American Air Force (USAAF Station 117) during World War II and was home to the 379th Bombardment Group.
Pictured with Stuart Ainsworth from the Royal British Legion, Sinise had the chance to meet reenactors and look at WWII vehicles and memorabilia displays as part of Kimbolton School Parents’ Association’s Living History event.
