The link above has some valuable information I think you may be interested in.
A bitter irony for me is that I have only just tonight realised my late father was stationed at the Central Fighter Establishment at West Raynham when this happened. Sadly he's no longer with us so I can't ask him about it. It was his first posting after training, he and my Mum lived in King's Lynn.
Anyway. hope it helps!

The only F111 crash in norfolk i knew about was the one at Methwold, i belive it was hit by lightning.
Re: Norfolk Crash sites 1939-now
Sorry only just noticed this thread, have you seen the series of books by Merv Hambling called norfolk Crash Diaries 1939-40, 1941 & 1942 (three books). A5 size books published mid 90s lists all Norfolk Crashes for those years includes basic info date, serial, unit, where & brief description. Nice set, dont know if he published any more in the series beyond these.
