Hi,

My name is Terry McSweeney and I was a Sgt instructor at the Aerial Erector School and the Treasurer and Tour Guide of the Museum at RAF Digby from 1998 – 1999 and gave many lectures for the tours held there. At your site under “Article” for RAF Digby you describe the “Gate Guard” as a Hurricane. This is incorrect as it is most definitely a Spitfire (I think it is a Mk5 to be honest).

Also describing the “Sector Operations Room” as an ex-nuclear bunker is no where near the mark. We reverted it back to its near replication of the role of the original building of 1939 as a Sector Operations Room of the time.

Please take time in assimilating this information and look at other web-sites to confirm the information I have imparted to you.

Regards

Terry McSweeney

Further on the Sector Ops room, this is now fitted out as it would have been during WW2 and is viewable by the public on Sundays by pre arrangement. How you "pre arrange" I do not know but a call to RAF Digby will probably resolve that question. GTX958

[edit] Douglas B-18

This is the station where the RAFs interwar bombing experiments were carried out and is also what the RAF's version of the Douglas B-18 was named after. Ian Dunster 22:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
