Dunkeswell Airfield Heritage Centre
Re-Opening Friday April 7th - updated 06-04-2023 This Heritage Centre was opened on the 25th September 2016 and houses a substantial photographic collection of over 400 photographs that depict day to day life on the base during World War 2, as well as many WW2 artefacts. The display tell the story from the construction, the USAAF and USN forces stationed there and RAF Coastal Command, to the eventual break-up of aircraft and its closure as a military base.
