Hurricanes used to fly from RAF Coltishall. This one seen at the last families' day in 2005. Base sadly closed April 1st 2006, no April fool's joke, unfortunately.

Dist:0.2km<br/>If these are dolphins (which they are said to be) I'll eat my hat; they look more like sturgeon to me.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Just to the north of the old RAF Coltishall you could be forgiven for thinking this was Coltishall church. It has a strange lychgate that wouldn’t keep the rain off a thin man. Over the porch doorway is an illegible inscription on a plaque. A green man appears on the groining of the porch which has a small parvise above. A small oven is incorporated at the foot of the parvise staircase. The font cover is attractive having carved sturgeon against a central vase. It is said to be a dolphin, but a dolphin with scales is just not on. See >http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2209965

Dist:0.4km<br/>Concorde only made one take-off and landing in Norfolk, on an experience flight from London Heathrow to RAF Coltishall and return. Coltishall had a runway long enough to accommodate this unique aircraft. Despite the distance between Heathrow and Coltishall only being around 100 miles the aircraft flew over the north sea towards Norway in order to give passengers the full Mach 2 experience. This was taken not long after G-BOAD had landed and offers an unrepeatable view of some of the Coltishall buildings from beneath one of the delta wings and one of the Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus turbojet nacelles, which houses two engines.
