Hi All
I had a most enthralling experience on Thursday. Visited the old RAF Langh
am Norfolk and discovered it's adjacent newly declassified dome from WW2. Us
ed for training British, Dutch and American forces.

The operator of the strip is not too keen on welcoming the "whole world", bu
t "interesting" aircraft such as Europa aircraft and experienced pilots from
the Europa club may come with PPR at their own risk. Landing fee and visit i
s not cheap at =C2=A325,but worth it.
A discounted rate possible for separate private groups of ten people ( I.e. f
ive aircraft)
The owner operator; Henry is a charismatic pilot/mechanic. Looks after a few
of DeHavillands in the hangar. Afterward did some research. Howard is very m
odest he worked on "Out of Africa" Moth and many participated in other films
. Hope he won't be annoyed about revealing his role.

David Joyce suggested I organise a potential discounted DOTH.
Caution: Unlicensed airfield: Concrete peri track 10/28, 700x15 surface OK b
ut not perfect. I chose the Grass strip 600 x 18, 20 foot trees at threshold
of 20. 100 foot mast on airfield. Have a good look at Google maps to orient
ate.
Was very well attended by people visiting by tourists visiting by car.
Anyone interest? David Joyce Mono is coming. Any others? All subject to weat
her.
Regards
Bob Hitchcock XS Mono
