From North Creake, No 199 and No 171 Squadrons of No 100 Group of RAF Bomber Command flew Stirling IIIs and Halifax IIIs on radio counter-measures intended to conceal the true position of the main Allied bomber thrust.
They used airborne radio transmitters called Mandrel to jam German early-warning radar and dropped aluminium strips, known as Window to give false radar readings.

Can you adopt a kiosk? West Norfolk communities invited to take on old phone boxes for new uses Published: 07:00, 16 March 2021
Dozens of villages in West Norfolk are being urged to adopt their old phone boxes for alternative uses in a new drive by BT.
Many communities have already paid just £1 each to take control of their old kiosks for a variety of projects, such as the development of a mini-library in Snettisham last year.
