Norfolk
Hello
I've recently been on one of my regular jaunts to the delights of north Norfolk, and rather perturbed to discover the skies being remarkably devoid of aircraft.
I realise that since the heady days of the 80's a succession of increasingly short-sighted and penny-pinching politicians have decimated the numbers, but surely a couple of squadrons of Tornados and the Typhoons at Coningsby, plus our colonial guests from Lakenheath, should make more jet noise than I encountered.
The few fast pointy things I saw were all above 8,000ft, whereas they used to regularly cross the coasts of Cley, Salthouse and Holkham around 250 to 1,000.
Anyone able to say why the lack of low flying in this region now?
Having said that, there was a high-ish Typhoon over Felbrigg on Friday with a lovely noisy climb and wing-over! Fantastic sight through binoculars!
