Re: Marham Aviaton Heritage Centre

Hi, Thanks for the great review. I’ve often pointed out if times are quiet on the fence we are more than happy having guys up for a brew and chat and use the facilities whilst hopefully enjoying our displays, and depending on which volunteers are in getting to chat with people with vast experience i...

Re: New 809 Squadron

I think they have bulldozed Hangar 1 to make way for 809 NAS Thought that was knocked down because it was not fit for purpose. It was deemed fit for purpose since the early thirties so sad to see it go, especially as my last office within. Has been demolished for F35 but not 809. Sadly the hangar f...

Re: Victor gate guard at risk ?

The Victor is up for tender, it’s not in the best of condition and has been gutted inside. It’s a wonderful piece of Marhams history but after years of neglect it is just not viable to keep it where it is in its present state. Sadly I believe it will only be going for scrap, not for conservation.

Re: Book - RAF Marham: The Operational History 1916 to 2019

So when are the RAF changing the uniform from blue to black and white stripes and a mask? They really seem intent on screwing the enthusiast over these days.... £30 for a book!! Mark, the book itself is the work of the author and the Marham Aviation Heritage Centre. It is NOT an RAF publication, in...
