E. Rose (NLA), 3 March 1993.
"Norwich Airport" was, in fact, a field holding a collection of 4 privately owned light aircraft and offering pleasure flights around Norwich. Three Auster J/I and one Fairchild Argus 2 aircraft were stored here, and the only airfield building comprised a caravan. The runways were, in fact, just east of the showground, and crosseed at TG154105.
