I don't mean to sound deliberately negative, but in my 16-year career so far, having served at or visited every (active!) RAF station from St Mawgan to Lossie...Marham was the worst 2 years of my life.
Perhaps my opinion is coloured by the fact I was married but unaccompanied, (my wife lost her patience with the RAF and DHE the previous year)...but the total absence of a pub, a pool, transport links, a decent restaurant and any hint of decent mess accom meant that I couldn't wait to leave.
Yes indeed, the best times at Marham were spent southbound on the M11 or in the Gulf!
