Lost Norwich Airports

I’ve discovered a series of short films on YouTube called Lost Norwich and here is one on lost Norwich airports, in particular Mousehold Aerodrome.  There are some excellent pictures of the old aerodrome which was located where the Heartsease Estate is today.  I like the pictures of the roads of today followed by the roads of yesterday, please make a special note of the old hangars on the Salhouse Road that still exist today.  The film also includes RAF Horsham St Faith which is now Norwich Airport and the daring mission to fly out Douglas Barder’s legs!  To find out more please select the following link:
