DescriptionAirfield Dome Trainer at Langham - geograph.org.uk - 1024546.jpg |
English: Airfield Dome Trainer at Langham This black domed building is Langham Airfield Dome Trainer, one of around 40 structures of this kind which were built during WWII. Only a few of these buildings have survived and this particular one now is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is located beside the road connecting Langham with the village of Cockthorpe, further to the northwest, on the site of the former airfield near the village of Langham, and it was used by the Royal Air Force to train their squadrons in the operation of an anti-aircraft gun by using film projection techniques. The first squadrons stationed there were 455 Royal Australian Air Force and 489 Royal New Zealand Air Force. It fell into disrepair after the war and none of the interior remains. In 1961, turkey-giant Bernard Matthews purchased the land including the dome but is planning to donate the building and half-an-acre of surrounding land to the North Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust who plan to conserve the structure and restore the interior to demonstrate its original use. http://www.norfolkcoast.co.uk/curiosities/cu_blackdome.htm http://www.rafbnmp.org.uk/langham.htm |
