Bassingbourn

Sunday, May 29th, 2011
Our day is drawing to an end...we have had a full day, packed with a re-dedication service of the 91st Bomb Group Prop Memorial in Bassingbourn.  We had lunch in the Officer's Mess and then we were off for a tour of The Tower Museum, also at Bassingbourn.  We drove to the airfield and drove down the runways...the same runways Uncle Jim would have as he prepared for his flights and take off! 
You will see a few pictures of "actors" that actually dedicate their lives to the re-enactment WWII for such events as this...it adds a very real atmosphere to the day! 
Enjoy the pictures!! 
Until the next time....

Heading into Bassingbourn Officer's Club.


Dad with a the Enlisted Women and Don Murray, he was at Bassingbourn the same time Uncle Jim was! Although he didn't know Jim, he explained that the "flight crews" were family and stuck together.
