Former RAF POW returns to RAF Mildenhall

Maurice Howard Bailey, second from left, former prisoner of war during World War II and former Royal Air Force No. 15 Squadron wireless operator, explains what he remembers about RAF Mildenhall to Mark Howell, left, 100th Air Refueling Wing historian; RAF Cpl. Peter Anthony Beynon, second from right, a nurse with Princess Mary’s RAF Nurses; and Stuart Bailey, right, Bailey’s son, March 7, 2014, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Bailey described how the runway used to have a hump that would damage aircraft if they tried to take off too quickly. Bailey toured the base as the last surviving member of his former crew.
