Visiting Father's WW2 Airfield - UK

 

FOTOBAI Committee Member, Stephen Trask, recently visited the UK, and his Father's WW2 airfield, Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire.

Stephen's Father, Trevor G. Trask DFC, was a F/O Pilot in 514 Squadron which operated Avro Lancasters out of Waterbeach from December 1943. The airfield still exists and an adjoining Military Heritage Museum displays a number of aviation records and artifacts from WW2.

Stephen has been good enough to provide us with some photographs of what was, no doubt, a very memorable visit. The photographs include a rather large piece of a Lancaster, and a mock up of the cramped space the Radio Operator was allocated in the aircraft.
