Having been fortunate to have spent many years at Colt finally leaving in 1996, it was with great sadness that I saw it's closure and uncertain future. I did however, write to the Defence Estates Agency to see if I could have a final look around the station in March of this year and was fortunate to have that wish granted and see the old place on a cold bright day, prior to it's slide into disrepair. Then today I received my order of "RAF Coltishall Fighter Station, A Station History" by Mick Jennings, just browsing this book is enough for me to recommend it highly, it will be a compelling read especially for anyone who has been lucky enough to be connected in any way with the place. I can only hope that someone with money and imagination can save Coltishall from the bunch of indecisive muppets that are currently in charge.
