After a very pleasant two weeks in Norfolk, I'm now back home for a week, in order to sort a few things and have my regular, monthly blood test.
The weather was mainly excellent, with temperatures in the high 20's to low 30's and sunny, although there were a couple of days when there was some light rain, and, of course, storm Francis hit last Tuesday, with winds of 50 mph ( 80+ mph elsewhere ) and very heavy rain.
Karl came down for a couple of day in the first week, and we managed to get to the Norwich Aviation Museum ( on one of the drizzly days).
The museum is located at the north end of what used to be RAF Horsham St. Faith, now Norwich International Airport and, although it used to be on the airfield proper. it has re-located to the area of former dispersal sites, outside the current airfield, and separated from the field by the relatively new ring road.
Due to the Covid restrictions, only part of this small museum was open, but the external collection of aircraft were easily viewed. Although normally open for internal viewing, the aircraft were were closed to the public until the pandemic is deemed safer.
The pics should be self-explanatory, and I've only included a few of the exhibits, some with a local connection, from Colitshall, and Wattisham.
More will follow in the next post.
