Framed Print of Spiralling Wings Memorial to Airstrip B-82, Keent
The airstrip here, in the old forelands of the Ms at Keent, was made by the Germans as an emergency landing field but never used by them. However, on 26 September 1944, 209 C47 Dakotas of 52nd Wing Troop Carrier Command landed at Keent with troops and supplies for the Americans and the 2nd British Army. Despite the marshy and soggy ground, the strip continued to be used by fighter squadrons of 2nd Tactical Airforce. The distinctive Memorial showing aeroplanes flying off a spiral spring as if they were circling around the airstrip, was designed by Albert Sanders. To the right of the metal Memorial, on the ground, is an explanatory plaque with a diagram of the layout of the strip on this Hot Spot. This simple, but inspired, Memorial, captures the spirit of the planes that landed on this forlorn, precarious, sodden airstrip. Date: 2001. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Holts Battlefield Collection / Mary Evans
