RAF Seething
About
RAF Seething opened in Norfolk in 1943 as a United States Army Air Forces base, Station 146. It was home to the 448th Bombardment Group, whose Consolidated B-24 Liberators flew on the Eighth Air Force’s daylight campaign from late 1943 to the end of the war. The Americans left in 1945, but the field lives on as Seething Airfield, flown by a local group, with the restored control tower now a memorial museum to the 448th.
