I understand that a Munitions Company has taken over at Faldingworth and that the locals are up in arms because of the loud bangs that go off at all times of the day.

When I was stationed at Honington, if I had the go in for "night flying", I would have to pass Barnham which in the middle of nowhere. I always had this uneasy feeling that I was being watched. One night I decided to stop the car on that stretch of road and within seconds I was lit up like a Christmas tree from searchlights coming from the facility. You can still see the four observation towers on the perimeter and the very large assembly buildings at: 52 23 08.74N 0 43 11.99E on Google World.
