MY littleboat Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 RAF Marham is to stay in Norfolk Ah so the rumours that it wa going to bought up by a rich american and moved brick by brick to Philadelphia were all false then!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yes, good news for Norfolk, but bad news for Scotland though. Same devastating effect on the local economy and job prospects, just a different part of the UK. One winner, one loser.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaters Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Did not realise until the news programmes today how large a base it was and the infrastructure and housing there for the staff and their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
