Martlesham Heath Control Tower - I have grown up living on Martlesham Heath and thought I would share some of the local history. Also I used to play in all the woods in the area climbing tree's, so maybe you might have to climb to find this cache! The cache is hidden a little bit back from the tower but not very far. You will need to look HIGH and low for this Micro cache and beware of muggles as this area is very popular for walkers.
This is a nano cache with just a log inside so you will need your own pen and be able to climb! The Museum is open on Sunday afternoons from the first Sunday in April, to the last Sunday in October. The Museum and associated underground bunker tells the story of this fascinating airfield from its opening in January 1917. It covers the time in WW1 when it was a special testing and development airfield for the Royal Flying Corps, and then the fledgling R.A.F. Between the wars the airfield was the prime site for testing Armaments and Aircraft of all sorts, Civil and Military. WW2 saw the airfield as a Battle of Britain Station, and then a Fighter base for the 8th United States Airforce. After the war Experimental work resumed… trialling rough field testing of aircraft, and early work on automatic aircraft landing systems - the systems now standard on all aircraft.
