    Mousehold Heath

    I grew up on the Heartsease estate-1/2 mile/135′ from the windsock and can remember the old Boulton and Paul works,the buildings I remember were painted in camouflage-late50’s early 60’s.I also recall my parents telling me the works were bombed several times by lone bombers early in the war.There was also a B and P factory on Riverside road in Norwich.
    I don’t think the muppets who will be shopping tomorrow will appreciate the ground they will be standing on it being 11 November.

    I remember in the mid-sixties the old control tower at Rackheath was the centre of a large scrapyard-used to go with my dad to get bits for his old Morris,Ford etc.Did you note REF,what was the old gatehouse on Green Lane West is now a block of flats,one of the last bits to go.
    As for Watton-again in the sixties remember playing cricket for my school at Wymondham College and getting b@ll’7ked for watching the Canberras and not the ball in the outfield!

    Sad to say G-APKN was one of the a/c destroyed in the arson attack at Felthorpe in Norfolk a couple of years ago-regularly see the remains-very sad.

    Can’t see the airfield part of it being sold until the resolution of the legal claim by one of the original landowning families against the Defence Estates is resolved -probably be another W Raynham.
