Went to Wethersfiend 50 years ago for an air show, when the Yanks were there. My brother in law to be, gave me a baseball cap, and I must have been one of the first English kids to permanently wear one.
I lived in Colchester and we saw planes come over from the base. What their proper title was I do not know but we all called em flying coffins. The air base is now used by the MOD Police to train their dogs.
For you, left. Give my regards to the sloping stage in Braintree where I had my 15 minutes of fame at a Radio Caroline Roadshow in 1978 when I held a stack of speakers back from falling off the edge onto the punters below, which got me a job for a while. For me, I’d have to go back the way, via Haverhill, to Stradishall, where I later worked for a number of years. If I was at the sign now, I’d have to go right, for Hayter PLC to get some mower spares, or straight on for the flitch!
Ummmmmmm no Kim but there is a tree which will wave in different directions if asked a straight forward question. Thus telling the enquirer the answer.

There all a bit of a mouthful. Nothing simple about navigating round England. Now wher’es my sat-nav.
Clive King in reply to RichiesArt’s comment, 2 months ago
Be careful with the old Sat Nav. People have ended up in rivers and on railway lines.
