A rectangular bronze plaque attached to a concrete boulder which is a fragment of the runway from Mount Farm aerodrome. The plaque is inscribed in English, in raised lettering. Placed on the top right of the boulder is the insignia of the 8^th Air Force in relief. Based for the majority of their service at Mount Farm, Oxfordshire, the 7th Photographic Group (Reconnaissance) took over three million intelligence photos during the course of 4,251 sorties over occupied Europe. The Group was awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation for photo sorties over the Normandy coast between 31 May and 30 June 1944, which was a crucial part of the preparation for the land invasion that began on 6 June 1944.
