WW2 airfield diorama at the USAF Museum

This is a series of pictures I took over a couple of visits - Ragnar200 (Ron from HBM Miniatures) mentioned a diorama he and a friend of his were involved with showing a caravan air strip of the 8th Air Force in England with B-17s and B-24s. I went to the museum and took pictures of it for him and posted a few on the Forum a while back. It is housed in the WW2 Control Tower that you see as you are driving into the museum - right next to the Nissan huts that are made up into a briefing room and an O Club. It's a great 'side visit' to the main museum if you ever get a chance. The control tower is kitted out with everything you'd see in an operation setting (equipment-wise).
