Celebrating, sharing tales of aviation days gone by

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Peter George, a former Air Transport Auxilliary first officer and pilot, enjoys a chuckle as he shares his experiences of being a pilot in World War II. He was one of two World War II veterans speaking at an event Oct. 13. The other was Eleanor Wadsworth, a female pilot in the ATA between June 1, 1943, and Sept. 30, 1945. She flew 22 different types of aircraft, including Spitfires and Hurricanes. Mr. George served in the ATA between May 7, 1941, and Nov. 30, 1945, and flew more than 70 different types of aircraft, including Lancaster bombers into RAF Mildenhall. The two former pilots shared their flying experiences with female pilots from the 351st Air Refueling Squadron and other RAF Mildenhall members who met to celebrate the history of Women in Aviation.

Celebrating, sharing tales of aviation days gone by

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- This notebook, used by pilots in World War II, shows "How to Fly a Spitfire." These basic instructions were given to civilian pilots about to fly the planes. Peter George, one of the guest speakers at the "Women in Aviation" event Oct. 13 at Building 809, said the notebook was often the only instruction he was given before having to fly one of the 70 different types of aircraft he piloted between May 7, 1941, and Nov. 30, 1945.

Cementing the base's future

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Paul Wilson, a contractor, runs a giant brush and smoother over wet concrete here to flatten it out so it hardens properly. This will be the base of a concrete batching plant, so concrete can be mixed on base and will be closer to the hardstands which will be resurfaced later this year, rather than being ready-mixed off base and brought in by a vast number of trucks.

Cementing the base's future

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- A razorback screed roller spins round as it gets pulled along wet concrete here to smooth it out March 24, 2011. The area is being transformed into a batching plant to mix concrete on base, rather than at an off site location. A storage area, mixing plant and silos were also added on site. About 2.4 British tons (2240 pounds) of concrete can be mixed in about 30 seconds, and having the plant on base will help speed up projects including the hardstands, which will be resurfaced later this year.

Cementing the base's future

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Paul Wiseman, left, and Peter Kent, both contractors, prepare to pull a razorback screed roller across wet, freshly-laid concrete to smooth it out and prepare for the next stage of the construction project March 24, 2011. The area is being turned into a concrete batching plant, allowing concrete to be mixed from scratch on RAF Mildenhall, rather than it being pre-mixed at a location off base and brought here on trucks. This will reduce the carbon footprint as well as save money. (U.S. Air Force photo/Karen Abeyasekere)

Cementing the base's future

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Contractors pour wet concrete into a base which will form a pad for a new concrete batching plant here March 24, 2011. The plant now homes large items of equipment to mix concrete, enabling it to be mixed on site, rather than at an off-base location then be brought to RAF Mildenhall by truck. This will reduce the carbon footprint and will save a lot of time when redoing the hardstands later this year. (U.S. Air Force photo/Karen Abeyasekere)
