Summary
[edit]DescriptionCottages in Mill Road, Thorpe Abbotts - geograph.org.uk - 1780452.jpg |
English: Cottages in Mill Road, Thorpe Abbotts The village of Thorpe Abbotts lies within the parish of Brockdish in the district of South Norfolk. During WWII the village became home to an airbase with the designation 139, Thorpe Abbotts. It was built in 1942 for the RAF by John Laing & Sons Ltd but was handed over to the Americans. The 100th Bombardment Group (Heavy) arrived in June 1943 when construction work was barely finished. The unit bombed airfields, industries, marshalling yards, and missile sites in western Europe and completed a series of attacks against Berlin in March 1944. The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, dedicated to the USAAF's famous 'Bloody Hundredth' Bomb Group of WWII, is housed in the original airfield control tower near Thorpe Abbotts: http://www.100bgmus.org.uk/default.aspx . The airfield consisted of 50 hardstandings, three intersecting runways and it had two T-2 hangars which were erected adjacent to the technical site. |
