North East London Group
About the Event
12.30pm to 3.30pm, Tuesday 24 September 2024
You are invited to join the North East London Group for a meal and visit to the Nuthampstead Airfield Museum.
Most of you will be aware that the northern part of our NEL area coincides with the part of East Anglia most associated with the airborne warfare waged by this country and her allies in the determined efforts to defeat the tyranny of Nazi Germany. North East London has therefore organised a visit to Nuthampstead Airfield Museum, an American base a few miles south of Duxford, and because the museum is in the grounds of the Woodman pub, the visit will be combined with one of our monthly pub meals. In fact, the Woodman was the Americans’ “local” and the pub itself has its own distinctive atmosphere, with the WWII memorabilia on its walls.
The museum’s mission is to provide a facility for public education on the roles of the 8th Air Force 398th Bomb Group and 55th Fighter Group, especially their activities and roles in the national defence whilst at Station 131. Through the varied exhibits you will learn veterans' stories, not only with a historical perspective, but on a personal level too. A voluntary monetary contribution to the museum from visitors is much appreciated.
The visit will be starting at 12.30. Please e-mail event organiser by 20 September if you would like to join us.
