Think you will find it was BEYM that was spun in, IIRC BGBI then replaced it and MABI was sold when the company closed.

Nice picture, takes me back a bit to when we were all parked on the Eastern Apron/under the tower before everyone was banished to the Western boundary.

Norwich hasn’t really changed much, still a very easy place for GA to fly from/to, what surprises me is the number of GA visitors who fly in and park at the terminal and then have to endure security checks going in and coming back out again. All they really have to do is park at the Western side which is outside of the secure area.

It also surprises me the number of visitors who pay full rate landings instead of saying training flight when phoning for PPR or on the initial radio call. If they did that they would be quite a good discount and as far as I’m aware unless you are a bona fide business flight all flights are counted as continuation training and qualify for discount.

When you fly over after getting your PPL back ask to park at Hangar 10 and come and meet everyone in the bar/restaurant/clubroom.
