Fersfield

Nissen Huts lurking amidst the boscage at RAF Fersfield near Diss. At one time these provided accommodation for personnel working on Operation Aphrodite, where explosive packed B17s were flown by remote control to the target after the pilot had parachuted to safety. This project can only be described as "another partial success" due to inadequate technology, and was abandoned soon after one plane exploded killing LT Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., the brother of future President John F. Kennedy.
