I'm trying to work out why an American fighter pilot is stationed at
Kings Cross!

At a guess, he either works in some sort of USAF liaison office
there, or, more likely, the father was catching a main line train to
the airbase where his son is actually based. Or maybe that was just
where he was meeting his son?

Big American airbase in Mildenhall; by rail Ely and taxi would probably
be the best way, so King's X would be the logical station.

The fighter pilots are at Lakenheath. Although not necessarily living
on-base.
