Nice one Jack.

I think he was a flyer in the USAAF as well Jack.

RAF Bungay, locally known as Flixton Airfield was originally planned for Bomber Command use to serve as a satellite station for nearby RAF Hardwick. Any station designated for Bomber Command use after December 1940 would be built with hardened Class-A configured runways with a 6,000ft main runway and two intersecting subsidiary runways at 4,200ft. Constructed in 1942 the base was allocated for the USAAF use to which they designated the base as Station 125. The First residence of the new airfield included the 12th Air Forces 428th Bombardment Squadron and the 310th BG (M) who arrived with B-25 Mitchell medium bombers.

Nice one Jack! great piece of military history there, hope the useless twats in government don,t build gaffs on there for soo-ap dodgers!

👍

Good information on that one Jack, it's a pity that there is not a lot of information published on these old sites, especially when you consider the amount of lives lost by aircrew. Shame really!

Warriors who made the Free World Great should never been forgotten and rammed into kids at school and fukk rainbow coloured lessons!

That's the trouble Dave, they would rather watch the Notting Hill carnival with twats prancing around like Carmel Miranda, with bowls of fruit on their nut and feathers poking out of their arse. Instead of learning about how millions died protecting them from living in a dictatorship and worse. Sad or what?

The teachers and the system is to blame Bob. They teach em fantasy land, nowt about realty and how much real graft you need to survive in the real world. No fukkiin wonder' half are addicted to socia media and the other half so addicted to drugs they don,t know whether they,re on this earth or Fullers!

It's a shame really, not all kids are bright enough for university, and would benefit from apprenticeship in some trade or other. When you look back you left school at 15, and you were expected to get out and get a job,to pay for your keep. Until you were 18 and did your National Service,unless of course you were on a deferred occupation.

The good thing about this was a body of trained men who could be recalled in the case of a national emergency. The other good thing was a turn over of jobs for those leaving school.

Unfortunately in this day and age youngsters are in full time education until 18, then University is what they aim for. Unfortunately the job market is such that it can't cater for everybody wanting to join it. And a lot do not wish to go into trades involving manual labour, hence an overload on the benefit system,and a lack of skilled workers.

So is this not a good time for the reintroduction of the old fashioned National Service.

Shoud be compulsory Bob!

I think today's society needs a wake up call Dave. Their to complacent mate!

That social media and drugs az really fukked em Bob!

Dave, teachers can only teach what the Government allow in the National Curriculum.  The addiction to social media doesn't really have anything to do with the education system.  The tech giants own all that shit and it's bringing them in hundreds of $Bns.  The celebrity culture promoted by SM and the billionaire owned media, encourages people, mostly children, to believe they can can earn fortunes without any education or talent.  

 

Like that Twat Musk, needs to keep his beak out of other countries affairs.
