MUSEUM STATUS UPDATE
The 384TH BOMBARDMENT GROUP MUSEUM , a registered UK charity, have bought the buildings at Grafton Underwood
and the 99 year ground lease of the Museum site has been activated.
Work is now being concentrated on the new Visitor Center Nissen hut that we are aiming to open in Summer 2026.
We continue to hold regular workdays,
while many small Volunteer groups, focused on specific tasks, are working when available to keep the momentum moving forward.
The Memorial Site is now being maintained by Museum Volunteers.
Currently we are looking at the mains electric power solution for the Museum buildings.
A solar option has been suggested and is being explored in depth.
Since it will likely require a large capital investment it is being looked at very carefully.
Recent press releases and television features have provided a welcome boost in donations via our new “GoFundMe” page at
RAF Grafton Underwood Museum Fundraiser .
All donations are used only to purchase required materials, as all labor is provided by Volunteers.
