Honington

LJ and others

I believe that the USAF were/are concerned about pop up traffic appearing under the flight paths to Mildenhall and Lakenheath and consequently wanted powered gliders as opposed to conventional gliders based at Honington. Those in Norfolk and Suffolk Wing and/or 611 VGS who post on here will no doubt correct me if I'm mistaken... It was a sad day when they had to leave Swanton Morley....tragic waste of an airfield.
