    HI Jess. great drive and commentary , this brought back childhood memories for me as I visited both U S airbases in the 1950's with my dad when he delivered to them in his truck. We slept on base as it was along haul from Lancashire back then,(no motorways ) The standout memories were how friendly everyone was with us and the size and styles of the American cars. I treasured the Baseball I was given by a U S soldier. Thanks for bringing back happy times from my childhood, I am 75 years young now.

    Interesting the two bases and some lovely little typical British lanes... I saw you and Chris put a short seaside clip on recently... may I suggest that you might like to head to Horsey in North East Norfolk and see the seals whilst they are still on their breeding beach. A lovely beach walk, with some old WW2 gun inplacements still there, you can take dogs on the beach as long as on leads and you don't get too close to the seals. Also a lovely dog friendly restaurant at Waxham Barns, next door village to Horsey... Horsey also has an interesting café themed on WW2... then not far away is the famous red and white candy striped lighthouse at Happisburgh (pronounced Haze-borough)

    The little restaurant you mentioned on Mildenhall base that’s never open was where I used to hang out as a teenager, I met my husband there when he was stationed at Mildenhall with the RAF. That was in 1963. Before 911 we could go on base to various places. We got married in the base chapel and this week celebrated our 59 th anniversary! I have lived here in Beck Row all my life, the USAF came here to Mildenhall the year I was born! A lot of my family live in Lakenheath village!

Both were brilliant airshows and memorable days out. Lots of F4 Phantoms, and at the later event a B2 Spirit bomber. Regards x

    A lot of these roads would originally have been created for horse and cart traffic Jess. They will have been improved and widened over the past 100+ years to accommodate vehicles. Unfortunately, they still don't seem to be able to repair the potholes quickly enough..... The restaurant you mentioned may only open in the evenings.... You could get the phone number and check, by calling them one evening...

    Did some of my British Army Infantry training near Thetford as a 16 yr old . way back in 1977.. We used to see the fighters taking off and landing .. when we were dug in .. out in the field... really great at night... It's a very flat area of England . no proper hills to speak of except perhaps Ely.. in the fens..

    Whilst Norfolk is known as a flat county it is surprisingly hilly in places. The Norfolk Broads area is flat but in Norwich, around the coast and in other places like Diss, for example, there are hills to make you puff!

    Drive on the left. A very important reminder indeed to overseas visitors/workers in the UK. At the risk of starting a political controversy on your channel but as a sobering reminder as the wife & mother of a family who lives & works on an RAF base in the UK (or anyone from overseas living/working in the UK who is not used to driving on the left) and just as an interesting aside, I wondered if you had heard of the case of Harry Dunn & Anne Sacoolas in recent years. In 2019 British teenager Harry Dunn was riding his motorcycle near the exit of RAF Croughton, a USAF listening station, when a car travelling towards him on the wrong side of the road collided with him and he was killed. Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a 'CIA employee' working at the RAF USAF Croughton base was driving the vehicle (a Volvo XC90) and had just turned out onto the main road on the wrong side of the road outside the base and driven about 400 yards when she collided with Dunn. Sacoolas admitted to careless driving and this corroborated CCTV footage. However, she fled to the US from a flight out of the RAF Mildenhall base, apparently on the advice of the US government which caused some diplomatic/legal controversy not least because there were many questions about whether Sacoolas or/and her husband were even entitled to diplomatic immunity and what their actual jobs(s) were on the RAF base and several other questions about the case. In 2019 Dunn's parents met with President Trump at the White House. In September 2022 Anne Sacoolas appeared by video link from the US in court. In December 2022 Sacoolas was sentenced in absentia to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months, and was disqualified from driving for 12 months. There have been many traffic cases involving US citizens & servicemen on UK roads over the years so let's hope you and your family all stay safe on the roads while in the UK.

    Hi Jess. I have only ever been on to the base at Mildenhall when they used to hold the airshow, I’m guessing it was during the 80’s when I was a kid. I just remember that the weather was great during those summers, and the atmosphere on base was amazing. I was in awe of seeing a C5 Galaxy with the nose cone raised and the ramps down at both ends. I walked right through one of those beasts. Those were good times. My aunt on my dad’s side of the family used to work on the base but I don’t recall what she used to do for a job. 😊

    Driving down those country B roads when relaxing is great but what makes it more so is the seamless way you connect with other roads, mainly due to slip roads and above all the roundabouts.

    I do believe that all airbases are RAF , the only exception was RAF Coltishall, which for a short period of time. (Tail end of WW2) It was under command of the Polish. Coltishall no longer operational, closed in, about, 2008. Just down the road from me, miss the noise of the Jaguar's. Nice to see our country through someone else's eyes.

    I've heard that few Americans have passports, so that must mean that few ever get to leave the country. But from my experience, that's normal for most if not all, of the people in overseas countries. Its only in Europe where everyone has been somewhere else, and that's largely because it's easy, quick and cheap to get around. If you live in the London area, or in a provincial city, you can easily go for even just a day return to another country - I've done it, more than once.

    ​@@DaydreamersBarnno worries you were in complete control of the vehicle, that's the main thing. I haven't seen too many of your videos. However you both drive very competentlyfrom what I have seen. Good words on patience and awareness of your surroundings. My gripe is drivers have look at their passenger when talking to them. That split second can be good night Vienna. Eyes firmly over the steering wheel. Just saying.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤣
