Raf shipdham was a B-24 bomber base during the second world war..designated station 115.it was the longest continuous b-24 bomber airfield of the eighth airforce in Britain.with bombers based there from october 1942 to late 1945..nothing remains of the tower now but an empty shell.

Flew out of there in the 70's with Arrow air services. Stopped using them when Bob Snook had the fatal accident trying to get in in fog in about 1974/5. There was a lot more to see then but good to see the tower is still standing, albeit just a shell. Thanks for the chance to see what it's like now. Takes me back to my 20's. Jim
