thanks for the great film. I love WW2 history and have lived around Tibenham most of my life and know the ground well. Walking the ground I have found the 2 main fuel tanks which are now hidden in trees, pill box's and a look out tree with metal rungs and remains of platform still visible. The local pub has american airmans names carved into wooden beams and a signed photo of Jimmy stewart who was stationed there.

Years ago I visited the Norfolk Gliding Club as a sort of pilgrimage. I asked the nice man, ‘how much does it cost to go soaring’? 20 quid he said. I asked the nice man, ‘how much does it cost to go soaring if your father flew out of here’? 10 quid he said. I asked the nice man, ‘how much does it cost to go soaring if your father flew out of here and didn’t come back’? He said, ‘you fly for free’. On April 1, 1944 my father’s crew, from the 703rd BS, 445th BG, was shot down over Germany. Half the crew were killed, but my father was lucky as he ended up in Stalag 17 for 13 months.
