Thanks for that Ant.
Not much remains of the old buildings, most have been demolished (e.g. control tower) or have simply fallen down before the museum started a few years ago. Apart from the perimeter track, the most prominent things are the three hard standings and blast walls that were built in the middle of the airfield in the 1950’s for the American THOR rocket system.
I think the best bit is the museum itself (the bit I wasn’t allowed to photograph !) since they have an excellent history of the Bomb Groups’ operations from the base and a lot of historical exhibits from the various supply drops that they did across Europe from France to Poland.
I thought that I’d be there for about an hour – in the end I left the museum building after two and a half hours after talking to lady who runs it, the site historian and a guide.
Well worth a visit – they are genuinely keen to see visitors
