Re: USAAF Bottisham Returns!

Hi Joe,

Many thanks for the good wishes. I have just returned from a hard day worlking to restore the building. What I really could do with is an idea of what the building was used for in the 361st days. I know from the airfield plans done by the RAF that it was SITE 4 and apparently used for WAAF purposes, but when the USAAF were there I have no idea. If any members may be able to help me out then it would be really great.

I have printed off some photo's from Bottisham and will mount them on the wall of the hut....I am sure that many of the veterans remember how cold Bottisham can be and today was no exception, but the building is really coming on and 'feels' now like it was during WW2.

Any help that anyone can give is much appreciated,

All the best

H
