A salute to The 352nd Fighter Group!

Thanks Andy!

Greetings Andy and thanks for the message, yes one of its Mustangs did hit the control tower early on the morning of June 6th 1944. I have been to Bodney several times , the control tower is about ready to fall in, wish I had to money to restore her as a memorial to the group. Here is states, the group held its last offical reunion two years ago and its one of the story lines in this
production. I tried to get the company to market its product at Duxford & Imperial War Museum BookShops, they are looking into this. They did produce several Pal DVD’s , but sold out quickly. I collect military aviation titles like many here , this is one of the finest titles I have seen in several years. The new 60th anniversary Channel 4 DVD on The Dam Busters is outstanding as well, I got that one at Hendon ! Hoping to see them release the
“Spitfire Ace” on DVD, that just aired! Nice it hear you have Maj Preddys decal kit, good luck on the building of the Mustang!Love riding around the Norfolk countryside and must get back to Norwich to visit the new Second Air Division Museum ! Thanks for the wave across the big pond !

Bodney

Hi Bluenose
I grew up in Norfolk, not too far from Bodney.
Easy cycling distance anyway–as a teenager, probably not now!!.
In the 1970’s there was still a fair bit left from a number of old 8th airforce bases. I think Bodney had a newer control tower as the original was destroyed when a Mustang flew into on the morning of D-day.
Anyway I recently acquired from ‘Mike Grant decals’ a very nice 1/24th scale decal sheet for George Preddy’s Mustang. Time to build Mustang.
All the best
Andy
