RAF Old Buckenham - USAAF Station 144 A History

[@YorkistRaven]

The memorial is very nice. I have a 99 year old USAAF 8th Airforce veteran friend who, one weekend on leave, was hitchhiking to London, when a staff car pulled up. Jimmy Stewart was in it, with a driver. He picked up Howard and although he was happy to be let off anywhere convenient in London, he was dropped off at Piccadilly. He said Stewart was a regular guy. :) Great video, I am so sorry you are having a difficult time. Bless!

Keep forgetting about the future silver screen actors who actually served in their respective militaries in WW2. You've done another good job with what you have to have available to you. Good job on this airfield documentary, Chris.

Went for a trip out for a cup of tea & watch the planes a few weeks ago & off to the airshow soon too! I'm stuck in the middle of Norfolk so the airfields are all around me , stopped at N Creake recently they have a great memorial there, another great vid Chris good as always.🎉

@@British-Hauntings-and-History Hi Chris Not sure, but hopefully it may be, might be a good place to do some investigation 😎😜👍

Thank you Chris 👍

I didn't realize these actors has served there. Would like to go see this one. I bet you can literally feel the history of these places when you walk through them, even the places where there isn't much left. Thanks for posting as always, Chris!

[@emmadenton9697]

Will definitely go & visit the museum. Thanks Chris 👍

Wow , that was low. Another fantastic history. You do them so well. Such a great memorial. Words and pictures are better than any cold stone.

Great video, Chris! Many thanks! This is yet another RAF airfield that I hadn't heard of - there seem to have been *many hundreds* of them! I'd *love* to visit a few of these old airfields some time, to soak in the atmosphere, remember those who served there and to see if I experience anything attributable to the paranormal. Keep up the great work!

@@British-Hauntings-and-History I kinda live between the two 🤣 Looking forwards to the video, it's an interesting airfield that I have visited a few times 👍

[@vespasian606]

What an interesting place. Anywhere that can combine a Domesday entry with Jimmy Stewart and Walter Matthau has my full attention.

[@eoindee7007]
