Following the same format as our drives of 2016, the drive will begin with a social evening at Sudbury on Friday and end with a social at Huntingdon on Saturday, allowing Members from across East Anglia to pop by and say hello to the Club and other regional GRRC Members. Our aim from these events is to get like-minded Members together to enjoy their cars on some of the best roads and most beautiful areas of the UK. With this in mind, we have suggested a route which we believe explores some of the finest roads through Suffolk and Norfolk, but it is very much up to you how to make the most of the day. There are far too many quaint towns and wonderful routes to explore throughout East Anglia, but by using the guide below, we hope you will be able to tailor the day, in the knowledge that there is a group of like-minded GRRC members on the adventure with you. We have also built in plenty of extra time to allow Members to take photos and have rest stops along the way. We will start the weekend with a Friday night social at the Mill Hotel, Sudbury.

  • Wartime Airfields and the IW
    War-time Airfields and the Icknield Way For those old enough to remember the events of sixty years ago, or those older who may been involved, the memories are still quite strong. In those days, East Anglia was often thought of as a giant aircraft carrier with airfields numbered in their hundreds. The earlier Ordnance Survey maps revealed the existence of very many of these but now they have nearly all gone. On the ground there are few signs: dispersal hard standings, an occasional Nissen hut, traces of runway, sometimes a memorial to the squadrons who served. The route of the Icknield Way picks up a sample of these sites which fall within two or three miles of the walkers’ path and, interestingly, they form a historical record of the progress of the European air war. The Bedfordshire-West Herts end is not really suitable territory for rapid airfield expansion and Henlow (from WW1) is not included as it was not operational. The list therefore starts close to Royston with Bassingbourn and its satellite Steeple Morden, followed by Fowlmere, Duxford, Little Walden, Newmarket Heath (yes, the racecourse, all being fair in love and war!), then Tuddenham, Honington and finally Knettishall Heath itself. A little further off the route, RAF Mildenhall is still operational today. Of these, Bassingbourn and Honington were the result of the pre-war middle thirties re- armament programme, whilst the grass racecourse at Newmarket received its first Wellington bomber on Saturday 2nd September 1939, the day before the declaration of war, with the grandstand and buildings converted to accommodation.
