Who'da thunk it. from that little airdrome with one runway and a load of
shacks
it is now a major airport... Guess I'd never recognise the old field now.
But
I'll always remember it the way it was. When it wasn't cloaked in a
peasouper,
it was raining like hell.(sigh)



You can see pictures of the modern field at

WOW !!!! From cowpastures do mighty airports grow. It is a beauty To get an
idea of wat it looked like during the war see the movie "12 O'Clock High" It
looked like the field in that film. Somewhere on the Stansted field is a plaque
to the 344th. Is it still there? A photo of the plaque is on my website. If
anyone knows, lemme know. Thanks Keith for the website and the great photos.
Memories.Always memories.
