RAF Downham Market operated Lancasters, Stirlings and Mosquitos as well as housing Horsa Gliders.Today, most of the airfield has returned to agriculture, although a few buildings of the period remain. A large road now cuts right across the airfield, so to avoid any nasty surprises on take off, ensure your traffic sliders are set to zero! As with all my current retro 40s sceneries, this is a rather basic but correctly positioned rendition.

USAAF Horsham st. Faith was home to the 458th bomb group during WW2. Horsham st. Faith was previously used by the RAF, and now serves as Norwich Airport. In 1944, the airfield had become a heavy bomber base with concrete runways, and the aircraft flown from this airfield at that time was the B:24 Liberator. I have "shrunk" the city of Norwich to a more appropiate size for the era, and if you have installed IanPs "Rackheath" then you'll start to get an idea how close these fields were!I hope a later update of this quite basic scenery will include barrage balloons over the nearby city of Norwich (I need to research locations).

USAAF North Pickenham was home to the 491st, and the 492nd bomb groups during WW2.Due to heavy operational losses, the 492nd was replaced by the 491st from April 1944 to May 1945. Both groups used the B:24 Liberator. After WW2 North Pickenham was handed over to the Royal Air Force and during the 1950s was a major "Thor Missile" site. Now the old airfield is home to a large windfarm and the runways used as hardstandings for Turkey sheds!

RAF Bircham Newton played host to various units during WW2. Bircham Newton was an active airfield in the First World War, so has a very long and distiguished history! Bircham Newton was always a grass airfield, but many of the older pre war buildings were supplimented by more "modern" architecture by 1944. I've tried to make all of my airfield projects representative of 1944, and Bircham Newton, now with it's C-Type Hangars is no exception. Aircraft appropiate to Bircham Newton during this period would have been the Hudson and the Wellington.

Hardwick was home to the 93rd Heavy Bombardment Group US 8th Airforce. This group flew the B:24 Liberator from this airfield in WW2. Today, part of the airfield hosts two P:51 Mustangs owned by Maurice Hammond, as well as a musuem dedicated to the men that flew from here during the second world war.Hardwick had a navigational aid known as Buncher 7, which I have depicted with an NDB. The frequency is 487.00. Buncher beacons were used to assemble the huge bomber formations safely until they were above the weather.

Shipdham was home to the 44th bomb group, United States 8th Air Force. It is located in the county of Norfolk in the UK and was a heavy bomber base for the B:24 Liberator. This is a basic scenery but it will give you somewhere else to fly from in your warbird!
