Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Fersfield Airport The airfield was a satellite of Knettishall Station and was at one time used by the 388th Bombardment Group in the joint USAAF/USN project Aphrodite to use stripped down flying fortress bombers as explosive packed, radio controlled flying bombs. Pilots would take-off manually and then parachute to safety leaving the bomber under the control of another aircraft and then flown to its target in Europe. The project was not a great success.
These buildings are being used by industry but many other buildings here are slowly deacaying and are of great interest. Find out more and see many more pictures at this website: http://8thcontrails.com/ipw-web/gallery/album43. See also TM0783 and TM0683 |
