Feltwell

The Patch

Available for over a year

One random postcode and a story you probably haven't heard before. The postcode generator leads to Feltwell - a rural Norfolk village which is host to a small US military base, RAF Feltwell. The sky above the village is filled with the sound of military fighter jets. There are thousands of US military personnel living in this area. RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell, all within a ten mile radius of the village, have been US Air Force bases for decades. Of the three bases, RAF Feltwell is the least notable, except for the three huge golf ball-like domes which sit on the base, their curved tops peaking out over the rooftops of the village. What are the domes doing here? The story takes us to The Pentagon and outer space... Produced and presented by Polly Weston Mixed by Ilse Lademann Editor: Chris Ledgard Made in Bristol by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Wales and West
