Compare this to the map above - Snetterton in 1996.
The curve in the foreground is Coram. The old Esses bridge is still there in this shot, the new one is now at the end of the 'new' Revett straight running through the centre. The old Norwich straight can be seen at the top, with the busy A11 road just behind the hedge. The Sunday market now occupies the area at top right where the hairpin was by the main entrance. From above, it is far more obvious that Snetterton Heath was once a WWII airfield, as the runways and positions of some of the hangars and B-17 standing areas can still be seen. Quite why the corner after the Esses known as the 'bombhole' is so named is a bit of a mystery. No bomb ever fell on the airfield during the war.
