Archaeologists in the UK have completed the first comprehensive survery of RAF Narborough, a military aerodrome, the largest of its kind used during WW1.
The search spanned a distance of over 900 acres, and unearthered items such as anti-bomb glass, copper, nails, scrap metals and pottery.
In one area they found high-class porcelain, this is likely to have served the officer class, and therefore allows the archaeologists to make an educated guess about the use of the airfield. The pottery allows the field related to the officer quarters and mess huts to be identified.

A selection of the artefacts have gone on display at True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum in King’s Lynn.
