We are housed in the original airfield control tower and surrounding atmospheric buildings. The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum is a moving testament to the Americans who came to Thorpe Abbotts in Norfolk to fight alongside the allies during World War Two. Open weekends from March to end of October 10am-4.30pm. May - September additional opening on Wednesdays. Also open on Bank Holidays. Last entry 3.30pm.
This is a great place for a short visit (at least a couple of hours) if you are even remotely interested in WW2 bomber history. Nice bunch of volunteers running the place. So much more here than I was expecting.
Visited after watching Masters of the Air. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Loads of exhibits on show documenting the history of the Bloody Hundredth. All in all a great way to spend an hour or two and free entry as well.
Wow well done to everyone that has preserved this memorial We visited on Wednesday and as soon as you arrive after passing what was obviously runways there is a solemn air of awe There's a massive feeling of respect for what these young people did in time of need, and this museum pays maximum respect Such a shame that the rest of the area is now farm land and cannot be reclaimed to show the hardstandings and other areas It's free to enter but I encourage for you to leave a donation and buy something from the shop to help in the upkeep of a very important landmark
What an amazing visit. The site is fantastic, the staff are welcoming and knowledgable. We spent around 2-3 hours looking round and could have happily gone round again. Will definitely go back again. Thank you too all the volunteers that keep this amazing place going.
What a place. A place you must visit. So much history. Relaxing and peaceful. Plenty if education. Informative volunteers who are both enthusiastic and knowledgeable but show respect.
Fantastic little museum. The volunteers are ever so welcoming and knowledgeable. They have a lot of very personal stories from the 100th bomb group & yes, you'll see the real faces of the Masters of the Air series. Putting the TV series to one side, this museum is very much worth a visit if you have any interest in the aerial combat of the Second World War.
