点评:The Harrington area is an excellent area to explore the WW2 airfield, the RAF and USAF 8th Airforce memorial, this gem of a museum run by kind and very knowledgeable mature gentlemen is a must visit.
The musum has many wonderful peices that is well worth seeing and spending time to look at. When we arrived we had a great presentation from Keith and a film explaining the site, the airfield, secret operations and the Nuclear defences of the cold war. A walk around the operations and communication rooms was special with many artefacts from the day to read up about and look at.
We were particularly impressed with the information about the many secret agents especially the SOE who flew from here on covert missions into occupied countries during WW2 and didnt come back, very brave and couragous people.
The museum staff are working hard on a voluntary basis to keep this memory alive which is commendable, only £7 per person to enter we thought it really good value, its easy a 3 hour visit.
Geoff is an expert of the cold war missile element and he gave us a brilliant presentation of the aspects of the Thor missile site and our nuclear deterrent back in the day, which we thought excellent.
Thank you all and we will be back!

博物馆藏品丰富,值得细细品味。我们抵达时,基思为我们做了精彩的讲解,还观看了一部影片,详细讲解了该遗址、机场、秘密行动以及冷战时期的核防御措施。在作战室和通讯室周围漫步,感受着当天收集到的许多文物,值得一读再读。
我们对许多秘密特工,尤其是二战期间从这里飞往被占领国执行秘密任务却一去不复返的特别行动处(SOE)的资料印象尤为深刻,他们非常勇敢无畏。
博物馆的工作人员正在自愿的基础上努力工作,以保存这段记忆,这值得称赞。门票每人仅售7英镑,我们觉得非常超值,3个小时的参观时间很轻松。
杰夫是冷战导弹领域的专家,他为我们精彩地介绍了雷神导弹发射场以及我们当时的核威慑力量,我们觉得非常精彩。
谢谢大家,我们还会再来的!
