467th Bombardment Group at Rackheath

Rackheath Airfield (Station 145)

Rackheath Airfield was constructed by John Laing in 1943.

In early 1944 the 467th Bomb Group moved in with 58 B-24 Liberators and made the airfield their home until July 1945.

All sites are now private property and you will need permission before you visit.

The library has information on some base contacts and with their permission can pass this onto you. The Library itself is unable to organise site visits.

The airfield was situated about five miles north-east of Norwich between the A1151 (Wroxham) road and the road to Salhouse.
