Tucked away in a quiet corner of North Norfolk are the remains of a secret WWII bomber base. When you pass through the area today you would be forgiven for thinking the large hangars and nissen huts are old agricultural buildings, but these structures hold a fascinating history which is mostly forgotten.

With the desire to change that, Nigel Morter and Claire Nugent, who became hooked on the history of the airfield when they bought the Control Tower  in 2011 converting into a period style Art Deco Bed and Breakfast set a course for fundraising and erecting a fitting memorial that celebrates those who served and commemorate those who were lost.

On Saturday 5^th of June 2021 a dedication ceremony was held at the (very nearly) completed memorial site that involves a Roll of Honour recording the 73 members of aircrew who lost their lives while serving here and a sculpture of a Stirling bomber by Andy Knighton Sculptures and dedicated to all who served at RAF North Creake.  Blessed by the Revd Dr Harri Williams, with a dedication by Air Marshall (retd) Sir Stuart Atha KBE CB DSO the Act of Remembrance was supported by an audience of 30 guests due to covid restrictions.  They also witnessed Bernie How, a veteran of RAF North Creake who served as aircrew in the role of Flight Engineer (1944-45) cut the ribbon on the Roll of Honour.

There are three information boards still to be erected and a little landscaping to be done, but other than that the memorial is complete and is there to be visited.  Accessible from Edgar Road, NR22 6BD.

The journey does not stop there, as we are planning more access to parts of the airfield.  If you would like to know more, please contact us through the contact page or keep an eye on this website.
