489th Bombardment Group at Halesworth
Memorials
A granite memorial stands at the southern end of the old north-south runway.
This was dedicated to the 489th Bomb Group in May 1983 and is pictured below.
Next to this are memorials to the 56th Fighter Group who also flew from Halesworth and the 5th Emergency Rescue Squadron.
On the wall inside St Peter's Church, Holton, there's a plaque in honour of all who flew from this airfield.
Kneelers made by 489th Bomb Group veterans' wives are also in this church.
Opposite the main entrance to Holton Hall Park, a drop tank gives details of the three groups who served at Halesworth Airfield during the Second World War.
