PARHAM AIRFIELD MUSEUM
Museum in Suffolk. Our purpose is to advance the education of the public by the display and preservation of aeronautical equipment and other items relating to the 390th Bombardment Group (H) and other units of the United States Army Air Forces, and the Auxiliary Units and other branches of the secret British Resistance Organisation. Thus our collections relate largely to World War Two.
