There are some good second hand bookshops in Holt with some aviation. Worth looking at Bircham Newton windmill for the views. The old airfield and pub at Langham is worth a look. Also the airfield and church at Little Snoring. The church has a scoreboard from the Mosquitoes based there. Don’t forget to get samphire and cockles at Well’s !!

I flew there in July,1967 in KA-7 “353” with Mr Marshall,and T-21 “212” with canopy. The winch cable used old Martin-Baker drogue chutes. I can remember a cable break and a large length of cable and chute drifting across the busy A46 to safely land the other side. My father used to aero-tow the gliders with a RAF Chipmunk borrowed from Cranwell,and he would hop across to Waddington to re-fuel. Would also fit in tows at Spitalgate and Hemswell as well.

These photos have the “wow” factor thank you for posting . Some missing C-47 information .
