When I was at Honington in 1981/2 there were 76 station-based aircraft alone from 237 0CU, TWCU, 9 Sqn, 12 Sqn and 208 Sqn and they were all fast-jets! Now it's closed along with Coltishall, and Wattisham is no longer RAF so two more fast jet sqns have gone from the frontline ORBAT!

Holbeach Range has a viewing area which was open to the public. I was fascinating to sit and watch Harriers, Jaguars and A10s operating the sou d of the cannon on the A10 is unbelievable!!
Oh what's that? you say there aren't any now? What do they use there then?
