A detailed overview of the many aviation-related landmarks across the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk
Norfolk and Suffolk are bursting with aviation heritage, having played key roles in military aviation through the two world wars and beyond. The obvious notable landmarks include airfields past and present, traces of former radar stations, decoy airfields and other sites that were once highly secretive. However, there are less conspicuous ones too – from churches, memorials and museums to local pubs, streets and even village signs.

This new edition of Aviation Landmarks: Norfolk and Suffolk offers a fully updated account of aviation heritage and history right up to the present day. With over 500 entries, it covers nearly seventy airfields as well as many lesser-known landmarks such as former radar stations, country houses, local heritage collections, street signs and more. Complete with illustrations, OS grid references and an index of places, this reference guide to the two counties, both in the air and on the ground, will captivate both interested locals and aviation enthusiasts alike.

PETER B. GUNN has been a lifelong aviation enthusiast and historian. He has written several books on aviation history and local airfields including Sculthorpe: Secrecy and Stealth (2014) and the first edition of Aviation Landmarks in Norfolk and Suffolk (2017). This new edition, his eighth book, is the outcome of many years of research and travels around his home county of Norfolk and neighbouring Suffolk together with his wife Janet. In 2023 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
