The Social and Wine Circle left the confines of the Church Rooms for their August meeting. The members met at Old Buckenham Airfield to be shown around the museum to the 453rd Bomb Group that is in a purpose-built building on the site. They were shown round by the curator James Clarey who, at the age of ten, had started collecting memorabilia from the US 8th Air Forces based in East Anglia during the closing months of WW II. Over the decades his efforts have expanded the collection into a moderately-sized free museum.
Members then adjourned to Jimmy’s Café adjacent to enjoy tea, coffee and cake as well as discussing what they had seen.
