The

The airfield is marked with a single commemorative stone that was unveiled
by the Director General, Airfields of Britain Conservation. It takes
the form of an unadorned granite marker, oblong in shape, stood vertically
on concrete foundation with a polished surface on all sides and the
inscription in black lettering on the side facing the road. On the rear
wall of the nave of St. Andrew's Church, Little Snoring Road, Little
Snoring, North Norfolk, are five rectangular wooden boards with painted
gold lower-case script commemorating squadron victories and honours
and awards of airfield personnel and inbetween the two pairs of boards
is a framed poem dedicated to Little Snoring Airfield.
