Middleton Hall, RAF Mildenhall
When the airbase was in the hands of the Royal Air Force, this building was the Officers' Mess. The base is now administered by the United States Air Force and Middleton Hall has been maintained in its original condition and is used for special occasions, such as entertaining visiting dignitaries. New arrivals at the Base are also given their induction lecture at the Hall.
Middleton Hall is named after Flight Sergeant Rawdon Middleton who commanded a Short Stirling aircraft back to the English coast after a raid across the Swiss Alps to Turin, Italy. The Short Stirling was not designed for high altitude work and for this raid, Middleton and other squadron aircraft were forced to fly through the various passes over the Alps to reach their target.
Middleton was badly wounded by flak over the target and under dreadful conditions flew the aircraft back across the Alps to England. Upon reaching the English coast and almost out of fuel, Middleton realizing he could not reach an airfield and insisted his crew bail out. The aircraft then turned out to sea and was lost.
