RAF Martlesham Heath - One last take off

This would have been the view Battle of Britain pilots had as they took off from RAF Martlesham Heath. For some, it would have been one of the last sights they witnessed.
It is a sight that reminded them all of the land they were fighting for.
A brief few yards of the runway used by Douglas Bader and his like now remain.
One last take-off...
Never forget.

To the memory of 242 Sqn who spent a time here during 1940-41. It was from this airfield that the great Canadian ace Willie McKnight took off from on Jan 12 1941, never to return. Wingman and friend to Douglas Bader McKnight's death played heavily on his mind for the remainder of his life. The men of this generation as stated above will never be forgotten.

In memory of the 356th Fighter Group, the Blue Diamonds (aka the Martlesham Playboys). The greatest generation - never forget!
