. Whereabouts in Leiston was the airfield please? Saw one overhead at Dunwich t'other year, never thought it might be back over 'Home Turf'!
There's a trailer park there now - some of the field still there.

The Cakes and Ale Holiday Park. You can clearly see the remnants of the runways on Google Earth.
