How to find us from A14 Eastbound........ https://wego.here.com/…/IP32-7,-England ,-United-Kingdom:52.…

We had the pleasure of showing an 8th Air Force veteran around Rougham Tower Museum today. Doug Ward was a ball turret gunner on B17's, although not with the 94th, he flew out of Italy and then with the 364th Sqdn, 305 BG based at Chelveston, he flew 37 missions with a total of 358.35 hours. He is a spritely 94 years young and still drives a car and flies his own aircraft. It was a pleasure and an honour to have met you and Jodie and many thanks for the book (Turret Tales) of your life, my personal copy will be donated on long term loan to the Rougham Tower Library so members can enjoy it. Thank you for your service,sir.

We will be open to the public over this weekend, 27th/29th May, Skyward Flight training are having the first of their "Fly-Ins" so plenty of light aircraft to see coming and going, the full Museum and tea room will be open, so come and have a relaxing cuppa in the sun having seen the sights of old and new Rougham Airfield.

Tuesday May 30th 2017. Public Meeting, 19.30 hrs. Guest speaker from 20.00 hrs - Gerry Travers, 'Rougham, the Americans and Me'. All welcome.
