This memorial to two US Navy Air Force men who died whilst chasing an air-launched V1 Rocket is in Waddling Lane, Somerleyton, Suffolk.

 

The 'road' in which this memorial sits is in fact more like a quad bike track and I seriously struggled in my Honda to get through it. Please only attempt the access in a 4WD, on a horse, on foot, or on a bicycle!!!! Do not believe the sat nav when it shows it as a proper road. And yes, you can get through from one end to the other despite the sat nav indicating that the road ends half way through!!!
