RAF Marham Sept 1986
Re: RAF Marham Sept 1986
Hi
It may be mere coincidence but I note that the British Aviation Review magazine for October 1986 reports that Heer CH-53G 84+46 paid a visit to Alconbury on the 5th September. The relevant section reads thus...

The aircraft on 5,9 were present for the annual Battle of Britain reunion. CH-53G
84+46 eventually departed to YeovIlton on 8.9."

There's no callsign data in the mag, so make of it what you will.
Best wishes
