UK - Seething - WW2 American bomber base wall mural art

Wall mural showing WW2 bombing targets in what is now an overgrown, mildew-ridden farm shack in woodland at Seething, Norfolk England. Seething is a former Royal Air Force station, assigned to the 448th Bombardment Group (Heavy) flying B-24 Liberators as part of the Eighth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign. The group enered combat on 22 December 1943, and until April 1945 served primarily as a strategic bombardment organization, hitting such targets as aircraft factories in Gotha, ball-bearing plants in Berlin, an airfield at Hanau, U-boat facilities at Kiel, a chemical plant at Ludwigshafen, synthetic oil refineries at Politz, aircraft engine plants at Rostock, marshalling yards at Cologne, and a Buzz-bomb assembly plant at Fallersleben. Some of these buildings are in a reasonable condition, although they are derelict and overgrown.
