I was there with the 47th Supply Sq. and the 7375th Combat Support Group. The base closed down after I left and I guess it reopened sometime later. Enjoyed my stay there.

We were newly married when I was sent overseas to Sculthorpe. We lived in and I commuted daily from Cromer to Sculthorpe. We both have the fondest of memories of the English and their kindness toward us. My two years at Sculthorpe was with the 47th Com unications Squadron and my duty station was with the telephone central office. We have not revisited our "honeymoon nest" but hope to someday soon.

I was in the 1st Aviation Field Depot Squadron(SAC). In '51 we were first sent to RAF Upper Heyford, which was still under construction to lengthen the runways. We were then sent TDY to Schulthorpe for that following winter(at least that's one thing I r ally remember), with the big storms and flooding at Hunstanton, etc. We were TDY all right as my little unit had an old rusty Nissen hut near a WWII RAF brick "facility". We learned how bring 2 cases of beer back to the hut on the back of a BSA 125cc. w th a man(had to have long legs!) sitting on top of the beer while someone else drove. Good times and my introduction to many good things, including morning tea in bed.(Yes, I married her!)

Thanks for the great web page. I was navigator-Bombardier (AOB) with 85th Bomb Squadron. first (and last) tour of duty right from Mather AFB after training. Terrific memories, including London and Paris Bomb plots-the forerunners of today's computer ga es. Although I didn't live off base, I remember fondly the Norfolk County people. Sure would like to hear from any of other AOBs and pilots from that period.

My first posting after training as Clerk. We were billetted in the new Barrack Blocks. Soon after my posting to Sculthorpe I was redeployed in the workshops as a Signwriter (my civilian trade) The R.A.F. were primarilly employed as Transport for U.S.A.F. I was involved in the change from the old RAF vehicle license no's. The C.O. was Group Captain Parker adjutant Fl/lt Aldis Those in the Wokshops were as follows F/Sgt Brightwell, Sgt. Mallet Cpl. Loader Cpl. Creswell Taffy Llwelllyn(who was always practising on his trumpet), Harry Blackman, Terry Hetherington. The only R.A.F. a/c was a Tiger Moth flown by the C.O. & Adj. I was fortunate enough to have a flip in it. I have since learned that it was removed to Lakenheath and was finally cannibalised. After a year I was posted to R.A.F. Benson to finish my National Service.

Comments:
Great page. The picture bring back several memories of the base. I worked security for a joint exercise. Spent a lot of nights out in the storage area and flight line. I remember a few stories of the Haunted Hanger. what a time.

Pat and I really enjoyed our tour at RAF Sculthorpe. We lived in Thornham and obtained several great friends, both American and English. We still have what we can now call life long friends from there. I especially enjoyed playing for the UK Championsh p Basketball teams that we had while I was there. It was a huge base at that time.

I was a tail gunner on the B-45 in the 84th Bomb Squadron. I lived in the barracks to the left of the NCO Club. We used to go to East Dearham on Sat. nights to their dances and had a great time. Is there anyone living over there that could help me find out if a lady I dated is still alive? Thank you for having this site available. I would like to hear from all the B-45 Gunners from Sculthorpe. Has anyone ever heard from McPhee and Billings that came is as replacements in 1954 after being in Korea?

I was assigned to the 86th Bomb Squadron as a bombadier and was crewed with Art Jepson who died in Vietnam. Joan & I lived in Huntstanton for a year then moved into RAF quarters next to Murph and his wife. Had a great time there then was assigned to Rhein Main in the B-57. Would enjoy hearing from anyone from that time. Send me a note. I had a career of 23 years which were most interesting. My time during the Vietnam hate was very interesting.

Comments:
My father was assigned to the P11-27 Kestrel(became the AV-8 Harrier) project around the end of 1964. Our housing was at Sculthorp during that time. My brother and I were bused daily to Lakenheath for school. The runways at Sculthorp were not being use at that time, and we used to play on them as well as in many of the unoccupied buildings on the base. Some of these had not seen use since the end of WWII, and I wish that I had had the presence of mind to keep some of the "collectable" items that we pl yed with! Upon leaving Norfolk in mid-66, my father was assigned to USAGUK in London. We were there until the end of 1968. If anyone remembers my dad (Also Jerry Minor), please drop me a note. I remember him receiving the the Army Commendation Medal while we were there for helping establish some type of youth or community club. I think that he may have also worked part-time as a bartender in either the NCO or Officer's Club.

What a site...gotta love it. Haven't seen any names I'm familiar with, but I reckon some'll come along sometime. I have seen some former AP's that were stationed there at the time I was, but they were probably in different flights than I was. I was young hen, 17, and away from home for the first time and I was the epitome of the Ugly American. Most of the places I frequented were the Palm Court, the Maids head, The Top and another bar in Hunstanton, and a couple in Fakenham. 'Fraid I didn't absorb much culture while I was there. Did learn to play darts though. The best times I had in my four year enlistment were spent at Sculthorpe, I ll have to say that. Rick

A sincere thank you Diane for giving all the many former personnel who were a part of Sculthorpe's varied history the opportunity to revisit their past - even this brief glimpse brings back cherished memories buried for years.

I was with the 39th AAA Battalion. The troops of the 39th were the first US Army personnel to arrive in England since the end of WWII. Had many a good time in Norwich. Almost married a gal from there but she ended up marrying some Air Force guy.

Arrived by train at Fakenham from London on a cold wet night in Nov. 60 and had no idea where I was. I called the base and the person I spoke to wanted to know why I was at the train station, and not on a bus from Mildenhall. I had to explain that I was c ming from Spain and not the States. I was assigned to the 47th PMS Sqd. performing major inspections on the KB-50's. We worked in a nose dock out past the alert area. I met my wife in a place called the Hole in the Wall in Huntstanton in the spring of 61. We were married in Sept of 62 and lived in an apartment on Austin St. in Huntstanton. Our daughter was born in the hospital in Kings Lynn. If there's anyone that remembers me drop me an Email.

Never stationed at Sculthorpe, however, spent many 30 day TDYs there with the 7th SOS out of Rhein Main Germany on the FLINTLOCK exercises. We brought many people and airplanes to the base and disrupted a normally quiet place, however, those of you that ived on the base and the surrounding towns were very good to us and I will always have fond memories of Sculthorpe. For your information there is a 7th SOS website (www.7thsos.com). Thanks again for the memories.

Being a young 20 years old at the time, I wondered what I had gotten myself into when US decided to bomb Libya. This occurred three days after I had arrived for a seven week TDY. I belonged to the 269CCS (Ohio Air Natl Guard) out of Springfield, Ohio. bout ten members of our unit and I augmented a telecom unit from Texas Air National Guard. I felt like I was on the dark side of the moon when I first got there. The base personnel and the "locals" were very supportive and friendly, especially at the Red Lion pub about a mile off the base. The comraderie was good but the bitter was better! Times were tense at work but the off time was great, especially train trips to London and the car rides to the coast!

Much work has been done by the local community here, and only three days ago the new community centre was pened. It is called the Hawkhaven Club, and is housed in what was the community centre next to the youth club in Chapel Road.

I was sent to Skullthorpe on a fairly lengthy TDY during Operation Desert Shield. I was a weather observer there and made several friends whom I cannot recall the names of now. If anyone recalls me, I would love to hear from them. I had a little blue V lvo 345 that I took friends off base in several times -- sometime to King's Lynn to the cinema. I think one of the guys I worked with went by "Dean". Sadly, I cannot remember any more names. I recall the whole experience with fondness. Oh, one other thing. During one training exercise, either an F-111 or an F-4 was streaking low over the field at high speed and sucked up a bird. Those of us that stood watching at first thought the resulting smoke was "special effects", and part of the exercise. Soon, we realized the plane was in trouble, was engulfed in flames. The pilot (and co-pilot) tried to put the plane in The Wash, but were not successful. They ejected at nearly the last minute, and the plane went down very close to a school w ich was in session at the time. Scary stuff for the locals -- and for us.

Was about 8 years old at Sculthorpe RAF in 1959. Father at the time was Capt. Ted Loyd Grissom, navigator, B45, B47, RB66. Brothers: Ted (jr), David, Steven, and sister Bonnie. Mother Lynne. Looking for Candice Candy Clizbe, and a brat that was a brownie, about age 7 in 1958 -- I only knew her first name "Blonka" and that she was the daughter of a non-comm. She appeared out of knowhere, in her brownie uniform, at the grand opening of the new culthorpe teen club, gave me my 1st hug and kiss in life, and said "don't EVER forget me"!!!(...and I never did). Her troup left immediately and we transferred back to the states (Columbus, OH) a few days later. I've been looking for her ever since. She w uld be about 52 to 54 today. Any help in finding BLONKA would be greatly appreciated. Mike Grissom inventor@nissan.net

I have seen a publication on Sculthorpe during 1957 and there were hundreds of photos of the various servicemen in all of the various units that were there at that time.

I lived at 2 Victoria Ave., Hunstanton from 58 to 60, and was friends with the Cassey family. They ran a small cafe near the train station and a taxi service. Anyone who frequented the Top Bar would remember them. I was in the 47th Air Police Sqdn.

A very good site on an interesting and important part of anglo-American relations. Jim Baldwin's book is very good and I can also recommed "Spy Flights of the Cold war" by Paul Lashmar which has a lot on Sculthorpe in the 1950s. Does anybody know if Mr Cunningham? is still around, the guy that locked himself in one of the nuclear weapons stores in 1958 and threatened to try and detonate a weapon?

I worked on 66 Sqn RAF Regiment based at RAF West Raynham, but my family and I lived at Sculthorpe. We had a lot of fun living there and were amongst the last RAF personnel to leave the base when the living accomodation was sold to the civilians. The main airfield area is now used by the military for various ground training exercises. I am now based at RAF Honington on yet another Rapier Sqn and there are still a lot of personnel here who lived on Sculthorpe and remember the fun we had in the Families Club, the Hawks Haven and the Bowling Alley. I still have some pictures of Sculthorp and once I find them out I will send them to you. Take Care Cliff Johnson

For those interested in additional information about RAF Sculthorpe, it is my understanding that Mr. Jim Baldwin has written another history of the base. I have sent an inquiry by mail to his address in Fakenham and will post the results here,as soon as receive them. The book is said to cover the complete history of the base from WWII to the present and should be a welcome addition to everyone's collection of memorabilia

Comments:

I was stationed at RAF Sculthorpe (TDY) with the 97th Bomb group, 341st Bomb Squadron, during the month of July 1950. We were moved to RAF Valley in Wales in August of 1950 in order to disperse our bombers. We had B50D bombers & were refueled by KB-29 tankers. We eventually moved to RAF Oakington in October of 1950, then to RAF Mildenhall in November 1950, then to RAF Lakenheath in December 1950, then to RAF Bassingbourne in January 1951, then back to our home base Biggs Field, El Paso Texas in February 1951. We were known as the "Rover Boys". tankers.

A friend of mine gave me this site and I hate to say this but I was on the last closing team. That was the best base I have been in my 16 years. When we closed it, there was 23 American military. I have great memories from there and would love to open her back up. My oldest girl started school at the pre-school on base. The NCO Club would open for lunch everyday and we had Commanders call and holiday gatherings but that was all for the NCO Club. We had a rally on the base one weekend, there was a hangglide club that would use the flightline all the time and for the last 6 months there were sheep on the flightline. As far as the Sculthorpe school when we closed the base the school was still open.

My father, Quentin G. Woolard was stationed at Sculthorpe, with my my mom, Norma (Charlie), myself and my younger brother Mike. I was in Elementary School. I was in elementary school; we spent the first years off base, first in the village of Sturmer and later in a wonderful townhome in Cley-Next-to-the-Sea, Holt, Norfolk and best childhood local friends were Jackie and David Turner. Parent's AF friends included Waters, Dykes and poor Hatfield. A most wonderful place for a childhood...ah for Noddy books, hedgehogs, ocean smells, fish and chips, scones and lemon sherberts. The last couple years were on-base. I remember catching bees in the summer clover with childhood friends including Marsha Fritski, Patty & Owen Cox, Charlie Chandler, and Dickie Willamie

It is named RAF Sculthorpe, 50 years of watching and waiting, published by Jim Baldwin, Private and Commercial Publisher, Fakenham, Norfolk NR21 8LQ. It is quite a nice book and not that expensive. We hope to travel back on vacation in a ouple of years. This is a nice site!

THIS WAS MY FIRST TASTE OF AMERICAN HOSPITALITY, QUITE A CONTRAST FROM WHAT WE WERE USED TO! THE FAMILY CAME FROM BILOXI MISSISSIPPI AND JIM WAS IN THE AIR POLICE AT SCULTHORPE BUT SADLY DIED BEFORE HIS TOUR OF DUTY WAS OVER.

First time in 1950 was in the British Army doing Security around B50s.Lived a bit rough compared to some who arrived later as the base was developed. We were in large tents at the top of the site and even had to eat outside at times.Second time was as a mechanic working in the base Service Station Ham Harris was the boss-Ted Collins his foreman.A couple of memories--once the policeman at the main gate shot up our NAAFI wagon when it failed to stop!!!Believe the Medicale Officer drove around the base in Studebaker.Saw Jayne Mansfield kick the first ball at one of the games.I am retired now and this site has really been a blessing to me--Thank you Dianne--Regards-- Jock Russell

My husband and I just got back from 2 weeks in England. First stop was Sculthorpe RAF! The base is no longer active, but you can drive on. Some of the buildings are inhabited by commercial companies. One company is storing thousands of tires. They us them to make asphalt. We took pictures of the PX and Commissary (very rundown) and the Bowling Alley (hardly standing). The flight line is fenced off. The family housing (brick duplexes) are no longer on the base. They have been bought by individual amilies and some are not very well taken care of. I found my house and the lady showed me around. Things certainly look smaller after 40 years. Syderstone is barely there. It was a great trip to memory land. If anyone goes over, a great place to stay is Congham Hall. B & B at its best. Great rooms and great food. I hope everyone has a chance to go back and visit fond memories. Farewell!

Hi, I,m trying to trace my Father, who served @ Sculthorpe sometime in the Fifties. I believe his name was Loyd Liveoak or similar. My Mothers name was Olive Royall & she lived at 24 Morse Road in Norwich. I've also found that my father was from Oaklahoma. Any help greatly appreciated.

RAF Sculthorpe was my 1st assigment after basic training and MP school. I arrived there as a young 18 year old. I worked both gates, base patrol,& finally as patrol Sergeant. It was a SAC base when I was there, then in May or Jun of 1952 they changed ove to a MATS base. When first stationed there, I used to work the Gates with RAF Militay Policeman. I became engaged to a girl from Norwich, but broke off the engagement after returning home, because she seemed like she wasn't in any hurry to come to the States.

Was assigned to 19Tac Recon as a Defensive Weapons Operator on the RB-66. I am more than pleased to run across this site and equally happy of the many that have signed your guest register. I have always kept tabs on the base through the years...and this time, I can tell that I wasn't thorough enough. There were several times I thought I would have to buy a bottle of scotch for the parachute riggers.Ha! (As I read about some that signed in) I am always interested in any of those that were assigned there. While there I lived off-base in Hunstanton, rented from a Mr.Donald Insley a flat on York Ave. He was a retired postmaster, and his sister worked as the a chambermaid at the palace in London. Some fine memories! Glad to hear from "you'all! Thank God for this page too!

I was assigned to the Base Personnel Office, 47 BW. In Jan 1958 my wife Betsy joined me with our 5 month of son. We lived the entire time in Heacham, near Hunstanton. During that time we had 2 more boys, both born at home thanks to our faithful midwife Nu se Johnson, and wonderful doctor, Hugh Ford, who later became the physician to Her Majesty when in residence at Sandringham. We still hear from him each Christmas. Since retiring from the AF, We have returned numerous times since 1975 to visit good friend in East Dereham, and Heacham and always pass by Sculthorpe. On one occasion years ago we were allowed to see where I used to work. The base was inactive at that time with only a British security guard at the main gate. While assigned to Sculthorpe, we me another American who moved to Heacham, Owen (Bud) Cohick who was, and continues to be our best friend, and we see are lucky enough to see each other at least twice a year. Unfortunately I can find no pictures of Sculthorpe taken during my time there. I h pe that other members of this site might be able to furnish some so that we may all enjoy them. This is a great site Dianne, and you are really performing a wonderful service to those of us who have such fond memories of our assignment at Sculthorpe, whic we can now share with others.

My father, Ray L. ("Tommy") Thompson, was an 85th Bomron B-66 pilot, and I attended the base junior high school, where my most memorable teacher was Leonard Shaw, my closest friend was Dick Kennedy, and where I was privileged to be a member of the school "college bowl" team that bested the British p ivate-school kids in a down-to-the wire championship bout in '62. Few of us "brats," I think, realized how good an education we were getting from our DoD teachers, our parents, and our way of life itself, so different from what "normal" Americans were exp riencing. In 1986, I co-authored a "novelized" social history of the postwar Air Force with Walt Boyne (*The Wild Blue*, Crown, 1986) in large part because so few civilians understood anything about our experiences at places like Sculthorpe. Now, thanks t the 'Net, sites like this one are themselves spreading the word, written first-person, to everyone's benefit. Thanks, Diane!

The base became non-operational several years ago but the airfield is still being used by the RAF and British Army for occasional exercises mainly using C130 aircraft and helicopters. The technical and accomodation sites have been sold for light industrial use although the accomodation blocks may be knocked down in the near future. The married quarters were empty for several years but have now been refurbished, sold for private housing and renamed as Wicken Green Village. This is the only part of the base which visitors can now access and is adjacent to Syderstone village off the A148 Fakenham - Kings Lynn road. I was in the RAF and was living in one of the USAF bungalows as a married quarter between 1966 and 1969 and have now bought one of the bungalows. If anyone would like any more local info please feel free to ask.

It's been a long time since I was at RAF Sculthorpe. When I arrived the base was home to a Free Polish Air Force unit with only about 200 Yanks onboard. I was a weather observer with the weather detachment, WEADET 28-5, and as the base had only recently o ened we had very little equipment to work with. The people in Fakenham were very friendly and I was treated very well. I have many fond memories. I wonder if anyone remembers the "Dirty Duck" out by the back gate. In Norwich there was the Samson and Hercu es and the Blue Room. Those were really great days.

Cooley, Ed Coleman, Bob Holzer. Have located several members of 47 A & E. I anyone else is looking for members in this time frame, contact me. Best way is via email at: polyspec@aol.com. Does anyone know if the Palm Court, in Kings Lynn is still standing???!!! Members of my family visited the Sculthorpe area in 1995. They reported that the base housing was being used as some sort of apartments and entry was restricted. They were unable to get onto the base, but said it seemed to be largely unchanged from our ra. I understand, from several English sites, that the base is sometimes used for auto races. Anyone know for sure? Any recent history of the area would be appreciated. I plan a return visit within the next 2 years.

I was in the US army stationed at sculthorpe from July 1951 thru Novwmber 1953. I was in battery B, 39th AAA AW Bn. I met a lot of great people while stationed there. I used to go to the Rampant Horse Pup and even dated the Doughter of the owner for a whi e. I remember the barber kidding me about bringing her candy. I returned in 1972 and was very dissapointed to find out the Fish and Chip shop I used to go to was closed and they had another one but it wasn't the same. I have a lot of very fond memories of Sculthorpe and Fakenham and the people there. They treated me very nice, the way I would treat someone from another country if they were stationed near here. Will close for now..... JerBear P.S. If anyone knows STANLEY ZEGAR from Wadsworth Illinois he would be glad to get a line from his friends. he was stationed in Scolthorpe from 1951 to 1953, I do not know what outfit he was with. All I know is he was in the US Air Force. Stanley Zegar 13910 W. August Zupec Dr. Wadsworth, Il. 60083 Ph. 847 336-3331 Stanley Zegar

Worked as a Turret Systems Mechanic for Pappy Zehner in the 85th Bomb Squadron. Went from B-45 to B-66 Fire Control and the 47th A&E Squadron in 1958-59 time frame. Came back but had to leave when Kennedy cut the gold flow and closed the base. It was a atelitte base/relex outfits and also served as a temporary base when runways at Lakenheath were being repaired in the F-111 days. I was at RAF Upper Heyford during that time (1972-1981). Have returned many times to the old base and now a Norfolk overflow housing area. Those were the days my friend, I thought they would never end........

Greetings Everyone, I myself wasn't stationed at Sculthorpe, but friends of mine were. I was stationed at RAF Lakeneheath and we both were Fire Protection Specialist (57150). I have been trying to locate him. His name was (Sgt.) Wayne Hunt and he was from the Los Angeles rea. We also knew a Staff Sgt. Wade while there. Have some old pictures from Sculthorpe that I could donate for the site if you'd like. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike Shanley
