Station 146 Seething Control Tower Museum

The Control Tower of this historic air base houses a living memorial to the American airmen and their planes, based here during World War II.

The members of the 448th Bomb Group lived and fought for freedom from the base. Many of them lost their lives in this struggle and a roll of honour is dedicated to them in the tower. There are two memorial stones dedicated to the 448th Bomb Group on the airfield and another memorial stone in the church yard in the village of Seething.

There are also displays on the more recent history of the airfield and on the surrounding area.  

This is a friendly museum where you’re likely to be offered reminiscences and stories from museum volunteers, some of whom remember the war years themselves. There is space to picnic on the grassy areas near the control tower
