Boxted
was home to the 386th BG, 354th FG, 56th FG, and after the second
world war, the RAF.
Legendary
pilots flew from here; Francis Gabreski, Bob Johnson, Hub Zemke.
The
museum is dedicated to all the men from Boxted that made the
ultimate sacrifice and our chapel area records their names.
The
museum was opened by Henry Farwell (veteran of the 386th Bombardment
Group) on May 29th 2011.
Attractions
include the largest collection of B26 Marauder aircraft parts
in the UK featuring a large section of fuselage, a restored
V2 rocket motor, and a Royal Observer Corps display.
A third building is now open containing a new Marauder display and a new display of Second World War military uniforms.
