Is anyone from anywhere near here going up there on that day, the Truman/Pesti car fleet is in a bad way at the moment and we can’t afford to do anything about it till we move.
In other words I’m trying to scrounge a lift, I suppose I could catch a train, take me bike and cycle from Coltishall Station, but even that is a difficult exercise.
Since I moved down to East Anglia 30 years ago, I’ve spent a lot of time holidaying in and visiting Norfolk and Coltishall has always had special memories for us, I’ve attended the last 2 farewell events, but seeing the flag come down for the last time will be something special, apart from the unique opportunity of seeing Jags flying with a Hurricane.
I remember camping at Kelling Heath one year and while cooking breakfast, we were amazed at the sight of 20+ Jags flying over followed by an equal number of F-15’s, the whole lot going on to intercept a bunch of incoming B-1’s.
I also remember having a pint outside the 2 Lifeboats at Sheringham and watching a big line of Jags flying in over the sea, nose to tail, best of all were the exercises with the Polish SU-22’s, how to relieve the boredom of beach sunbathing by having mock air combat over your heads all day.
Anyone going?
