Rwy 24 at Marham

I am sure Marham was a grass field during the war, it closed in 1944 for reconstruction as a 'very heavy bomber ' base and was in that state when the war ended.

It is indeed just the area of freshly-cut grass around the approach lights, nothing to do with Fido or anything else.

It was the bloody FIDO!

How about a vote on this?

I'm not sure how current Google's data is. That map still shows the GR1 sim I put in in 91. I doubt that's still there.

Google Earth now shows the imagery date towards the bottom right below the image. In the case of Marham it shows July 2 2006.

The old sim buildings are still there, but they have a new custodian - it was the RAF Regt who used it for GDT/CCS/Pre-Dep training etc 3 years ago (may have changed again and be occupied by BAES bods now) so whilst you don't have to visit it quite so often it's still a painful experience!

Thanks for that WrathMonk.

I was curious to know what had happened to it, but I certainly wasn't expecting the Rock Apes
