| Description |
English: Poultry houses and silos beside Mill Road The poultry houses are situated on one of the hardstandings of the former Thorpe Abbotts airfield.
Thorpe Abbotts airfield was built during 1942 and early 1943 for the RAF 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 and two T-2 hangars were erected adjacent to the technical site. |
