Bacton Gas Terminal
BACTON GAS TERMINAL: Company helipads
Note: The first two pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: N & S of the B1159, about 8nm SE of Cromer town centre and roughly 18nm NNE of Norwich city centre
Period of operation: Opened in 1968 to -
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location. It appears that in its heyday it had at least four helipads being used. Looking at Google Earth © images I have marked what look to me to be typical helipads. All pure guesswork of course. In the 21st century I cannot find any of these being marked as a helipad, but, presumably helicopters still visit the Terminal?
If this is the case, I would guess 'Helipad Four' is the most likely? As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be most welcome. I imagine pictures of helicopters operating here must exist? It would be great to feature some - or even just one.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
