Through the 74 Squadron Association I found a home for my Phantom `Cabriolet` model diorama at the Wattisham Station Heritage Museum, so a bit like the recent World cup mood at present, it`s kinda gone home.

Along with association secretary Bob Cossey and ex 74 Boss Group Captain Graham Clarke, we were given the full tour of the museum and then headed over to 74`s HAS site to see `914`.

P-47 parts found at one of Wattisham`s dispersal some time ago. While P-47`s were never based at Wattisham during the war, some were flown in for maintenance so these are a very rare find.
