RAF Hethel - the old chapel

Uploader's Comments

One of the rooms in the gymnasium > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2011075 was used as a chapel for the airmen. This mural, which depicts Father Gerald Beck, the chaplain, was painted in 1944 by "Bud" Doyle. It was recently discovered underneath the old whitewash during restoration work. The adjoining rooms house a varied and interesting number of displays and more exhibits can be seen in the adjoining Nissen hut > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4004314.
