ww2psycho Is that the 72nd or 48th kit. Are you doing that intead of or as well as the P-38. I take it your doing the one on the box art.
jbrady Thanks very much for those links. A number of the airfields were turned back to farming after the war. But alot are still used for one purpose or another and you can still make out the old runways and perimiter tracks. Heres a few examples.
Of the 3 closets to me, all B-17, Rougham, then known as Bury St Edmunds, is still used for flying, they have airshows every year. Theres a pub on the corner of the old boundry called the Flying Fortress. Rattelsden, again still used for flying, the gliders from there often pass over our house. Lavenham, i think that gone back to farm land.
A bit further afield, tehres Bodney, P-47 & P-51, used by the army and some of the old building are still in use. Snetterton, B-17, old runway used for drag raceing and a huge market every Sunday. Hethal, B-24, used by Lotus cars, the perimiter track is used for testing. Horsham B-24 and RAF, now Norwich Airport. Bassingbourn, B-17, British Army training centre. We use the perimiter track for running, not pleasent. Thats just the ones i can think of
Theres a memorial to ever airfield, either near it or in the local village. Even if we wanted to, we could never forget.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
