Raf coltishall..(permission visit)

Mikeymutt · Feb 24, 2015

this is a place i have been wanting to go to for so long,so when the opportunity came up for a visit i snapped it up.we visited the station HQ,ops bunker,ATC tower,sergeants mess,swimming pool,gymnasium,and med centre.i really enjoyed my time here.and I am really hoping for a return visit....the station shut down in 2006 just before the Jaguars that had been based here were decommissioned.they saw active service during the gulf war.without a single loss of a plane,coltishall was active during the war as a british fighter station,and was the last Battle of Britain station in active use when it shut.the airfield was bought by norfolk county council,it's future use is not totally certain yet.

Oh look at the old place! I was based there. Sad to see the place like this.....the station commander when I was there was a stickler for the station looking immaculate. I swear he spent more on paint than jet A1
