Former RAF Bylaugh Hall

The house was requisitioned by the RAF in the 2nd World War. At one time much occupied by WRENS, then famously later in the war by Bomber Command as a command centre particularly for dam busting, and even more secretly, radar jamming. There is an 'end of war picture of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the thirty-fourth President of the United States (1953-1961) amidst members of the 8th army outside Bylaugh Hall in about 1945.
