This cache is placed within what was known as USAAF 237. This significant American air force base was initially opened on the 30th of July 1942 by the Royal air force. It was then handed over to the United States army air force during the 3rd of August 1943. The airfield was used for training purposes, namely teaching Gunnery and Bombing techniques. This was to make up replacements for losses in action. 868 men graduated from this extremely busy airforce base during May 1944. General Eisenhower, and General Patton flew in to Greencastle shortly before D Day to inspect the troops of the US 5th Infantry (their headquarters being at Donard Lodge Newcastle) General Patton actually gave a speech to the 10th infantry regiment, who had just completed a training exercise on the nearby Knockcree mountain.
The cache is placed within view of the actual control tower which is still standing just to the North West of GZ. Also the machine gun buts can be viewed to the North East, and are in exceptional condition. All the local farm boundary walls are in fact constructed from actual runway fragments which were torn up during the 1960s. Several concrete gun platforms can also be viewed. One being very close to GZ. There is no need to enter local farmland to view any of these wonderful survivors. Also, take care not to block farm entrance gates. There are lots of photographic opportunities to be enjoyed without the need to trespass. A zoom lens would be a great investment to enjoy photographing the WW2 buildings, walls, and of course the wonderful mountains of Mourne. The golden hour is really something special here during late afternoon.
