Nitro999, Afternoon - Really appreciate the reply , thanks for that....be good to hear what goes on . I did see an episode of Top Gear with "Joey" from Friends in a chase car behind a U2 (NASA markings I think ?) talking the aircraft down....not sure how true/realistic the comms were bearing in mind...

Paddyboy, You know that we are all behind you and your comments, lets hope we can educate those who visit and hopefully keep things clean.

John, 100% name and shame...not sure what forum rules state but I would post a picture of the "offenders" on here, I'm sure most people with smartphones would happily help ...just the thought of someone getting hurt by those that wont obey the site speed limit makes me go cold, especially the youngs...

Hi Guys,
So there is a thread about Litter louts at Lakenheath and another regarding speeding etc in John's field over here at Midenhall , surely this cant be regulars can it ? Old cliche about "wonder what their homes are like?" comes to mind....sad state of affairs to be honest.
