Memorials.
There’s a few memorials dedicated to the 490th to be found in Eye, here’s some details
Engineers’ Memorial, Eye
Dedicated to the Royal Air Force engineers that built and ran the Eye Aerodrome, including those who died during the war efforts. Publicly accessible all year round, its a great addition to an airfield walking trail should you wish to try one of our public footpath information board walks (Maps available on the Trails page)

Brome Church Memorial
Dedicated to the 490th servicemen that operated in the area during the second world war. Open for public viewing. If staying in Eye, or Diss, it’s only a short drive away, or maybe you could add it to your hiking schedule, when venturing a bit further afield from the airfield walks! (Longer trails maps are coming soon so please keep your eye on the trails page for updates)
Placed in the church after the war efforts, a poignant piece in a building of peace.
