The foundation for our memorial has been laid to remember those 233 brave men of the 487th Bomb Group from @Station137 Lavenham who lost their lives. We have £2k to go out of the £16k needed justgiving.com/crowdfunding/4…

Built by John Laing between 1943 & 1944. This is my favourite picture of B24s (Liberators) queuing up on the perimeter track with the Control Tower in the background. I love the fact that the turret gunner has asked the pilot to swing his B24 around so that he can get the picture
