Thanks much for your time in producing this video for us. This is only the 2nd video that I have seen of yours, so I am a newby. I really enjoyed the video. My dad was in WW2 & landed in France. He rode in many of those Willey's jeep's. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
Nice run out John and what a grand wee place, as you are interested in military and obiously RE meteor, classic etc basically the 350's things, have you ever looked at Coastrider Scotland, he has a channel interestingly like yours where he bimbles around the countryside pointing out very interesting things, he also has a willy's jeep which he puts video's out on runs out in southern Scotland and Northumbria. keep the videos coming mate, ATB Big Dave
I’ve cycled past there countless times & didn’t know it was a museum, so wonder if it’s a recent thing. I think you will find the actual base was on the land across the road. Where the industrial site is. In Pollington, if you had taken the left turn to Heck, just before the sports fields, it’s up there. I believe, although not seen it, there is a memorial to the base & staff. From the M62, you could still identify the hangers, although not sure if they are still standing.
Dad's army was film mostly near munford and Thetford the dads army museum is in Thetford and captin manering statue by the river there
@theadventuresofbellatheenf4627 Thanks for that, if I am ever down there, it will be a place to visit.

@davidginn8448 I have watched him, and would love a WWII bike 🏍 😀
I could see you with one for sure
Hi John, I think the air base was used as a borstal and then a prison after the war,
Really, never knew that.

@martinowl Thanks for that I will go and explore. The museum has opened recently in the Land Army building.
Just looked on google maps. Looks like the hangars have been demolished but can clearly see where the runways were.
@@martinowl They are shown on OS maps as well
