Spring '44 was when the new control tower came into use, and this is the original watch tower, which looks it may have already been emptied and is being readied for its demolition.

Thanks for sharing Mark. My grandfather was in the 352nd (support staff) and possibly at that service, but I don't see him in any of the photos.

Great photos, very evocative of the time.
Easter in the UK, especially East Anglia, is usually cold and damp, looking at the photos and the lack of heavy jackets, it must have been fairly nice day.

Seventy-four years ago....wow. I wonder if any of the men are still with us?
