This is one of a number of murals created by USAAF airmen from the 44th Bomb Group during the time they were based at the Shipdham airfield. Having survived for seven decades in some of the derelict huts such as the Officers mess on the Wing headquarters site, the wall paintings were rescued and conserved by the new owners who during the past few years have converted a number of buildings into dwellings which now incorporate these unique pieces of wall art.
