Red Arrows wallpaper

J.A.F.O. Wether that story is for real or not I can confirm that 3 or 4 years ago Paul Layzell, the owner/operator of Old Buckenham airfield managed to get an agreement for a fly-by from the Arrows one afternoon. At the time I was working in Norwich and had worked my day so that I could get to Old Buck to see the Reds.
As I left Norwich on the A11 going South I was astonished to see the Reds do a perfect "wire-up" of the airfield at Hethel (the home of Lotus cars) Obviously a gross navigational error. Not only did the Hethel people not see them but neither did the waiting members at Old Buck.
And they didn't find it on the way back either!!!!
