The Greyhound, Tibenham, Norfolk
During WW2 Tibenham Airfield was the home to the 445th Bombardment Group. The Hollywood actor James Stewart was stationed here. Today the place seems to be the epitome of tranquillity. (Inside the pub there is memorabilia about the airfield and they regularly hold WW2 re-enactment days.)
The runways are now used by the Norfolk Gliding Club and sitting outside the pub (with a glass of Adnam's Ghost Ship in your hand) you can watch the white gliders being pulled up into the air. Close you eyes and you can almost imagine the quiet modulation of the tow planes change into the thundering roar of a Liberator bomber.
