I need a landing site near Watton Norfolk

[VeeAny]

Does anyone know anywhere I can land a 355 near Watton airfield in Norfolk.

I have tried to contact the VGS with no joy yet, and need an alternative, I've also tried Shipdam airfield but no joy with getting hold of them either.

I believe Watton is now Army owned/run if that helps.

If you can't get hold of anyone at Shipdam just turn up and stick a donation in the box. There is often nobody there.

If you get stuck you can land at Old Buckenham, EGSV, a little bit further away though. details: Old Buckenham Airfield | Contact Us (http://www.oldbuck.com/contact.php)

Bodney Camp, run by the Army, is about 4 miles west of the town of Watton and they have been known to recieve civilian visitors in the past.
They have a grass landing site, but the camp is mainly there for troops using D208 - Stanta Range. (It's also the annual holiday home of the Queens Household Cavalry Neddies with annual open days - just about the only time you won't be allowed in).

The only numbers i have to hand at the MOD are as follows who may be able to put you in touch with the commanding officer (but they may be out of date)
Tony Burlton Tel: 020 7218 9836 or Caren Armstrong Tel: 020 7218 0259.
