Rougham Tower Association (RTA)

Welcome to the website of the RTA

Rougham Airfield is situated a couple of miles east of Bury St Edmunds, UK and was home to the USAAF 322nd and 94th Bomb Groups during the Second World War. This airfield is one of the few wartime bases to retain its Control Tower into current times. With the loss of Rougham Airfield events the tower needs more help than ever. If you can help in any way please do get in touch.

Please Click Here - the Airfield is under threat from a new road which will be located right next to our Tower! We need your help!

Rougham Tower

The RTA was formed by a group of local people in July 1993 with the aim of restoring the Control Tower to its original condition. The Association became a registered charity in 1998. Work is now well advanced and the initial objective has evolved into a project dedicated to providing a site of living history for the education and entertainment of present and future generations of the public. With a recently negotiated lease from Rougham Estate Farms of Ninety Nine years, we are in a healthy position to expand and preserve the museum, the memorial and the memory.

Within this website, you can find out about both the history of Rougham and what is going on in modern times. You can examine the progress of the restoration, see what events are taking place and where to come for a visit. We hope you will enjoy reading about our activities and perhaps even want to join us!
