Deopham Green

DEOPHAM GREEN: Military aerodrome

Note: As far as I could see, this small memorial is now the only proof that this WW2 USAAF airfield ever existed. However, the aerial view (2017) obtained from Google Earth ©  clearly shows the extent of the WW2 airfield, the layout of the fields still marking the WW2 runways - and, a couple of the dispersals still exist.
