Cliff End
CLIFF END: Military Landing Ground
Military users: RAF (Royal Air Force)
78 [Home Defence] Sqdn (Sopwith Camels and possibly Sopwith 1½ Strutters)
SACCDB (School for Aerial Co-operation with Coastal Defence Batteries)
Location: SW of Norton, roughly Inm W of Yarmouth
Period of operation: 1918
Site area: 18 acres 320 x 183
NOTES: I find it rather surprising just how small some WW1 Landing Grounds were and this is an excellent example. Today of course such a site would probably be restricted to use by microlights or perhaps STOL aircraft like Piper Cubs etc. In those days of course even front-line fighter types used them!
