Sgt James O'Brien's Family visit Thorpe Abbotts

Veteran family visit - we opened up the museum on Sunday 8th December 2024, so that Scott and Adriana O’Brien could visit and walk in the footsteps of Scott’s Grandfather, Sgt James O’Brien, 350th Bomb Squadron Communications.

Sgt. James O'Brien

James O’Brien was part of the detachment which came to the airfield in advance of the Group to prepare for their arrival. A touching moment was when Scott identified his Grandfather in a photo in the Sad Sack Shack at the museum (photo shown). The group photo is from Contrails.
