To the memory of 242 Sqn who spent a time here during 1940-41. It was from this airfield that the great Canadian ace Willie McKnight took off from on Jan 12 1941, never to return. Wingman and friend to Douglas Bader McKnight's death played heavily on his mind for the remainder of his life. The men of this generation as stated above will never be forgotten.

Very nicely done, quite moving.
In memory of the 356th Fighter Group, the Blue Diamonds (aka the Martlesham Playboys). The greatest generation - never forget!
Superb!
