Tea Dance, 6th July 2024
Fantastic day at the 1940's Tea Dance at the Tower yesterday, not even the awful British weather was able to dampen the enjoyment had by all with great music, wonderful singing by Sarah Mai and plenty of dancing.
The Tea Dance went ahead as the rain Lashes down as the dance floor was laid in the large Nissen hut. Graham Sage did sterling work with his BBQ and what appeared to be Hundreds of Burgers and Hot Dogs were devoured. The rain finally gave up in the evening and everyone went home better off for the exercise.
"BOMBS AWAY!"
We have many items on display in the Museum, but as a heavy bomber base we've never had a bomb.
This will be an asset to the displays, we can't thank Chas Jellis enough

All we need now are 3 practice 250 pounders and a 1000 pounder to finalise a future planned display.

The work never stops...

Great guys, and we hope to meet them again in the future.

"Swing, when you're winning!"
More items we received from the USA. We really do appreciate the families of the 94th, sending these items to us.
"Sign of the times!"
Before leaving the UK Lt Johnson obtained a little memento of his time at Rougham, namely the Briefing Room sign from 410 squadron!. After all these years being displayed with pride in the family home John and his sister reached out to us to ask if we would like to have the sign at the museum?

Thank you to all who attended the December Departure, a storm tried it's hardest to disrupt proceedings, but 50 guests braved the rain and wind to attend.
Special thanks to the USAF Colour Party from RAF Mildenhall, it's always a pleasure having you here, thanks also to RTA Life Member Mike Warner for liaising with them again.

Suffolk MVT also braved the weather and brought some military vehicles.
The after event buffet went down a treat and it managed to thaw us all out.
