On
Wednesday I took the Jeep to Thorpe Abbotts, home to the 100th BG Museum. It's
been at least a couple of years since my last visit, and as usual, a number of
displays have changed since last time. The aerial photos below were taken in
1997 and show the overall airfield and a close up of the museum and tower. |

| While in the glass house on top of the tower, I found this un-official log by the flying control officer. I would like to clean up the photos and reproduce them for paperwork inside the Dodge. | |||

The following photos were actually taken on
Sunday July 8th, on the way home from the Tibenham Airshow. |
