• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Overview History Discussion
From 1939 to 1943 Watton was used by the RAF as a light bomber airfield. From 1943 to July 1945, the 2nd Air Division was placed in the 3rd Strategic Air Depot in the adjacent Neaton, servicing and repairing B-24 Liberators. From April 1944 to July 1945 Watton housed the 802nd Reconnaissance Group (Provisional), a weather photo recon unit that operated over the Atlantic Ocean and later by day and night over enemy occupied territory. From 9 August 1944, this was renamed as the 25th Bombardment Group (Recon) with B-17, B-24 and Mosquito's of the 652nd BS (H), 653rd BS (L) and 654th BS (P). The 25th BG (R) flew a total of 3,370 sorties for the loss of 15 aircraft. Enjoy. Cees Donker
