An original sentry box for the airfield at a road junction by Moonhayes Farm has a Memorial provided by the South West Airfields Heritage Trust (SWAHT) inside. It honours the sacrifice made by men of the USAAF and the US Army who left RAF Upottery for France on the 5th and 7th June 1944 and who never returned. Image
