This site is dedicated to the brave men of the U.S.A.A.F. 381st Bomb Group (H) and 90 Squadron, R.A.F. who served out of Ridgewell Airfield, Essex, England during World War II.

We have now been in our new home since 2000. Visit our 'Opening Day' page for some photographs of how it was then and what it looks like now.

Please visit our guest book to let us know that you've been here.

We are a small, private collection of World War II memorabilia displayed in and around the old hospital buildings behind the U.S. 381st Bomb Group memorial. The collection is displayed on the 2nd Sunday of each month from April to September between 11am and 5pm, and is situated between Ridgewell and Great Yeldham in Essex on the A1017 (formerly A604)

Visits at other times can be made by prior arrangement.
