Hi there, I see you changed the location in the description of this photograph from RAF North Pickenham to RAF Metfield. Can you give the evidence for this ? Thanks, Rod. Rcbutcher (talk) 06:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes, when I went to the 491st Bomb Group's web page, they have the same picture posted there as part of the unit's history and had labeled the picture, "Like a parade of elephants, B-24s of the 491st line up on the perimiter (SIC) track at Metfield before a mission. (Photo-Winston)". So, since it seems the 491st transferred from RAF Metfield to RAF N. Pickenham in late August 1944, it seemed to make sense that the shot was from the earlier base. Here's the link: http://www.491st.org/491hist2.html
