RAF Coltishall closed its gates for the final time in 2006 after 66 years of service to the crown, and proudly boasts its legacy as a Battle of Britain fighter station, remaining an operational fighter station until its closure in 2006.

During WWII Coltishall became synonymous with Aces such as Douglas Bader, R R Stanford Tuck, 'Sailor Malan' and 'Cats-Eyes' Cunningham. From Spitfires, Hurricanes, Beaufighters, Mosquitos into the jet age of Lightnings and Jaguars, Coltishall hardly changed its role or character.

Help us preserve our heritage.

After retirement I became a volunteer at the Heritage centre also after completing couch to 5k with my daughter I do a little running, I have decided to attempt a full marathon which will take place on Coltishall airfield as a My way London Marathon on of course 26th April a few days after my 70th birthday. The centre is growing and funds are needed to maintain all the interesting exhibits I along with my colleagues bring to life for visitors.
