    Four men are gathered on what appears to be an elevated observation platform or control tower overlooking an airfield or airport. An elderly man in a dark suit with a tie appears to be speaking and gesturing to the group. The background reveals a large open airfield with runways, grass areas, and a partly cloudy sky.

    Maurice Howard Bailey, second from left, former prisoner of war during World War II and former Royal Air Force No. 15 Squadron wireless operator, explains what he remembers about RAF Mildenhall to Mark Howell, left, 100th Air Refueling Wing historian; RAF Cpl. Peter Anthony Beynon, second from right, a nurse with Princess Mary’s RAF Nurses; and Stuart Bailey, right, Bailey’s son, March 7, 2014, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Bailey described how the runway used to have a hump that would damage aircraft if they tried to take off too quickly. Bailey toured the base as the last surviving member of his former crew.

    Three men are standing on an elevated outdoor balcony or observation deck, overlooking a flat landscape with buildings and open fields below. A younger man in a black jacket is pointing into the distance, apparently directing the attention of an elderly man in a dark coat and tie. A third man in a blue sweater and dark jacket stands in the background.
    An elderly man with white hair, seen from behind, watches a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft appears as a dark silhouette with its rotors in a transitional or helicopter-mode position. The scene appears to be at or near a military airfield, with airport infrastructure visible on the horizon.
