RAF Washingtons (B-29)

Waiting for the developers to resite the memorials mentioned here http://www.rafwatton.info/SHQ/Whythis/tabid/57/Default.aspx

Don’t know about the museum stuff, but the Memorial should either be in the care of the Norfolk County Archaeological Sites & Monuments Record (SMR), or they should know where it is.
This, however, is not foolproof. The Memorial on the lawn outside the WW2 Flying Training Command HQ at Shinfield Park, Reading, mysteriously disappeared once the developers got access to the site after the Met Office College had vacated it. Do I detect a pattern emerging here? Perhaps the developers don’t want the cost of re-locating/looking-after it, or (as is often the case) the Local Authority SMR doesn’t want to know anything after the Romans?!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a lot of help – but you might strike lucky!

Does anyone know what happened to the museum exhibits when the museum closed? also the memorial outside the officers mess, since they levelled the place?

What an amazing resource for a comparitively overlooked type of the RAF, and the classic station of RAF Watton.
Excellent read.

Many thanks for hu 😉

Some years ago I was watching a news piece on the TV, cant remember what it was about now but something that took the reporter to a desert graveyard for aircraft.
It wasnt him or his story that got my attention but four or five B50 fuselage sections and wings still with their very faded RAF roundels in the background,

Some lovely film of Washingtons here http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=33998
Pathe News has many gems hidden in its collection but they are badly listed, so finding them is often more by luck than design.
