RAF Rougham
About
RAF Bury St Edmunds, usually known by the name of the neighbouring village as Rougham, opened in Suffolk in 1942 and served as a United States Army Air Forces base, Station 468. It was home to the 94th Bombardment Group, whose Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses flew the daylight strategic offensive over occupied Europe and Germany, taking part in some of the Eighth Air Force’s hardest-fought missions. The Americans left after the war, and much of the site is now an industrial estate, with the control tower preserved as the Rougham Tower Museum.
