Preservation of WW2 airbase murals — BBC report

I took a trip to Tibenham a while back and while I was there we went to see Ken Wallis and his marvelous private museum. On the way back we looked in on the new houses being built on the outskirts of the old airfield to see the murals.

After some searching we found them – and were amazed that the larger mural (bar scene) is now a center piece in a private house and more can be found in other new builds, so they are preserved but not accessible anymore. The lady picture was in an out building along with others but could not get to see these due to building work. Pleased I got to see them.

The one that should have been preserved and they did look at it was the Deci Wall

This report is nearly a year old already!
I’m sure this has been on here previously.
Eighth in the east……except the Northants Eighth that is?
I love the fact that having excluded Northants…..unless they can get even more money, the article then goes on to quote about researching some ‘missing Sistine Chapel’ artwork at guess what……a Northants airfield!!!
I guess they are trying to pre-empt their justifying securing the next big handout.

Exactly what is it they are “preserving” anyway?
Title reference is to documenting the artwork, not the actual preservation of it and to be honest, what USAAF artwork is still out there that has not yet been recorded or is known about already….excluding Northants of course for now??
I’m not comfortable about a couple of guys that nobody had heard of, suddenly getting a massive lottery handout, on something that has already been covered by many before them!
What about the USAAF bases in Lincs, Bucks, Salop (Shropshire) to name but a few for example, which although not in the east, are just as important, or are those in reserve for yet further funding applications?
Could somebody actually point me to something really tangible, not some little something here or there, that these people have actually done, particularly justifying the huge sum of money they were given?
There are people on this forum that have done far more visibly, for the preservation of Aviation and the USAAF in particular, without the funds this organisation secured.

I remember as a small boy , looking through the windows of the derilect stables at Bure House on the edge of Christchurch Airfield. The Stable buildings were used as a PX by the USAAF 405FG and apparently the nose-art artists had practiced on the walls in the PX. Lot of scantily clad pin-up girls. Sadly all long since demolished.
