Eastern Radar was a lodger unit at RAF Watton. Long after Watton closed as an airfield, Eastern remained, and a pleasant community it was to. The only resident aircraft at that time was a Meteor NF14 on the gate.

The airfield was used by helicopters and C130s on occasion on Exercise. Easterns primary 'customer' was the USAF in East Anglia although Wyton, Honington and Wattisham were up and running in those days also.

With the iminent demise of Coltishall, there will only be Marham left.

Social exchanges with the Americans were fairly common, especially on the football/cricket pitch. They are always "liberating" occasions.
