As it stood in 1943

What RAF Mildenhall looked like in its prime.

A permanent pre-war RAF station at war: neat neo-Georgian brick messes, barrack blocks and a pillared station headquarters around mown lawns, giving way to enormous curved-roof C-type hangars and a broad tarmac apron. Camouflaged Short Stirlings and new Lancasters sit at dispersals around the field's edge, engines under canvas covers; bomb trolley trains, crew buses and bicycles move along the perimeter track past sandbagged defence posts and the brick watch office.
