Can I just say how inspirational and amazing it is looking at these pictures and reading all of your stories. My family for as far as I can remember have been in the army and my father has been caretaker at many different sites. I am really fascinated with stuff like this, so was just wondering if it is possible to have a look round? I am presuming it must be possible as people have pics? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Hi everyone. Can I just say how inspirational and amazing it is looking at these pictures and reading all of your stories.

Not the best posting for action! Yep - you're right about this guy Bamber. His outfit was called Welbeck Homes and a few of the US housing was sold to families of ex 17th crew and they had nothing but problems. Are you still in Maryland? Alex SL Gus

Long time ago now but looking forward to the 2012 reunion. This message raised something at the back of my mind. My son was posted with the 17th SSS at RAF Edzell in Scotland back in the 1990s. He married a local Scottish lassie and they came across this Roger Bamber as he had something to do with a company called Welbeck. One of the family bought one of the ex base houses from him and together with the other folks on the estate experienced nothing but problems. I wonder if this is the same guy.

Welbeck can always be relied on for the real facts on what is happening on former bases. Interesting that the ” Welbeck Group ” owned the housing at Lakenheath and are still involved in RAF Kinloss.

Recently, whilst reading the history of RAF Coltishall I noted that on the 4th March 1944 at 0118 hours that a lancaster NG325/CA-H of 189 squadron dived into the ground near to East Rudham railway station, all the crew were killed.
