I was driving between Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford recently and drove through RAF Barnham (at least that's what the signs said). I've never heard of the place so, in a moment of idle curiosity, I went to the RAF web site to see what the place was (looked like some sort of stores depot). After half an hour or so I was still none the wiser since I couldn't find it anywhere (not on any of the base lists etc. and the idle moment turned into a 'the damn place must be SOMEWHERE' hunt). This led me to consider a couple of possibilities:-

1. It's a Top Secret, hush-hush site only identified on a need-to-know basis (with everyone driving on the A143 needing to know).


2. The RAF have totally forgotten the existence of the place and it's manned by a Flight Lieutenant and three Airmen enjoying a quiet life and taking it in turns to guard the gate or go to the local pub.

If it's option 1 then I suppose it's my turn to watch out for the black Omega's.
