100 th Bomb Group Memorial Museum<br />

Following on from a very busy and successful year in 2018<br />

where we saw visitor numbers increase. We welcomed back<br />

at the beginning of July a veteran with two other generations<br />

of his family as well as many direct descendants of Veterans.<br />

We also saw a large number of new and returning visitors.<br />

Over the winter months our volunteers, supporters and friends<br />

from the 100 th Refuelling Wing at Mildenhall have been busy<br />

enhancing the museum, changing displays and getting to grips<br />

with some much needed building work and generally ensuring<br />

that our visitors get the best possible experience from their<br />

visit.<br />

The shop has also had a makeover with many new Items and<br />

souvenirs added for our visitors to take away to remember<br />

their visit.<br />

1944 (75 years ago this year), was possibly the most<br />

prominent year in our allies stay in as much as it was a full<br />

year of continuing missions. During this coming year we will be<br />

remembering the many raids that took place during that year<br />

and the many lives that were unselfishly given.<br />

In <strong>2019</strong> we will also be welcoming back many old favourite car<br />

and motorcycle clubs/gatherings that are already booked in as<br />

well as many new clubs to the museum. Details of all these<br />

events will be found on the museum face book site as well as<br />

many local Facebook sites.<br />
