In this video, I’m on the Norfolk coast, searching for and photographing lost wartime artwork on some old WW2 airfields. I find one of the most impressive pieces yet (and probably one of the best surviving in terms of condition) tucked away in an old auto shop.
On one of my first trips for this project, I came across several murals and paintings on an old USAAF base, and ever since, I’ve been curious about what else is out there waiting to be found. This was a fun one, and I’m looking forward to returning to continue working on it!

As a former Airman in the RAF during the 1980s-90s, I spent four years at RAF West Raynham in Norfolk. The history in the old stations is just incredible but it's disappearing so fast. I'm a photographer too and I can't thank you enough, Kyle, for taking the time to document heritage that means so much to so many. This is a great project and I'm sure there's a book worthy of your work too. Thank you so much. All the Best, Rick.
Oh this is cool Kyle, I love these hidden gems! All those rows of B-24s on that mural, wow!
Love that this series lives on. Very cool that you're capturing these places.
really loving this historical WW2 search! so much great stuff
I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching these videos! I'm happy to see that you are having a good time exploring and taking photos, working on something amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Fascinated to know your research that goes into these. Brilliant work
Last one is really awesome
Kyle, I love everything you do, but this project stands out for me! As someone who studied history, it excites me to see how one can combine photography and history. Also, I think the images are so much more rewarding because of the „challange“ of finding them/gettin access to them. But how do you find the murals in the first place? What is your research like? Could be part of a future video! Keep it up, these videos are a main source of inspiration for me, and for others as well.
❤ Thank you for doing this! My grandpa was part of the 392nd. He flew on 31 missions.
As a muralist who occasionally takes photos, this is really awesome!
These are some very cool locations! Happy somebody is documenting them before they’re gone
Amazing episode. Thanks Kyle!
That was a tremendous video, Kyle. Both interesting and wonderful images. I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this video, nice pictures.
An fascinating project. All the best in your endeavors working towards the goal.
I wonder what paints were used. I like that you're photoing the faded and damaged pieced too. Would be incredible if this finds its way to someone who was involved in making one of them.
Love goin on these roadtrips with you! :)
These are incredible finds. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for recording our history before it disappears
Really fascinating. Many thanks gor sharing your finds. If/when the project is finished do you intend to publish your photographs in either a book or a zine?
Wonderful video , on the final mural , were those Lancaster Bombers? My grandfather was in the RAF and was a machinist / mechanic that worked on them during WW2.

Morons and their spray cans, a blight on everywhere these days! Will you be putting these into a book, I would be really interested if you were.
The graffiti is part of the story.
