Ridgewell Airfield museum houses a growing private
collection of items relating to the history of 90 Squadron
RAF, 1942 to 1943, and the 381st Bomb Group, USAAF, who were
stationed at Ridgewell from 1943 to 1945.
The museum
is housed in what was once the base hospital. Our collection
includes many wartime items including uniforms, personal
effects, photographs and wartime memorabilia connected
mainly to the 381st Bomb Group.
The Ridgewell
Airfield Commemorative Museum exists to remember those who
served at RAF Ridgewell - Essex’s only long-term heavy
bomber base during the Second World War.
