Today, the Norfolk village is best known as the home of Lotus Cars. But it wasn’t always so. Beneath Lotus Cars is the airfield that was home to United States Air Force during World War II. And they are remembered and honoured still.
Historic, one of the titles from Maria Antonia’s #2023picofthe week

Thank you. There are many such monuments around Norfolk. So many Americans based here (flatlands make good airfields), and so many died

Wow! I love how the wildflowers surround the monument. Very touching.

Most churches now allow their churchyards to remain untended as wildlife reserves.

And my thanks to you for help (a few months ago) in identifying the U.S Army Air Force bases my father was stationed at back in WWII.
