Well worth a visit to the museum. Great tour and very interesting.
Excellent museum about Wethersfield Airfield the lives of American airmen and the impact on the local community. There is an astounding amount of memorabilia and carefully constructed models gathered from all sorts of sources. Increasingly the memorabilia is coming from the United States and the airmen who served here and their families.The curators are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, giving tours and information about the history. Though most people think of US airbases in the UK as being used in the second world war, Wethersfield was used during the cold war when pilots sat in thier planes armed with nuclear weapons ready to scramble in response to any attack from the Soviets.I found the leaflets produced for the US personnel telling them about life in the UK particularly interesting.The museum is open the third Sunday of every month or by special arrangement. The contact details are on their Facebook page together with photos and a short introductory YouTube film.Well worth a visit and a project that deserves support.
