Description 

A return run of 80 miles along mostly good B & C roads through picturesque villages in Norfolk and Suffolk to Parham Airfield. Parham Airfield Museum is situated on an old World War II United States Air Force Station. The Museum consists of two separate Museums, which join together to show how this corner of rural Suffolk was affected by the War in two very different ways. The 390th Bomb Group Memorial Air Museum pays tribute to the 740 servicemen killed or 'Missing in Action' from this airfield and the further 754 who were taken as Prisoners of War. The Museum of the British Resistance Organisation provides an insight into 'Britain's Secret Army', with contemporary artefacts housed in the Nissen Huts and a unique replica secret underground bunker. The Museum aims to shed light on "Britain's best kept war secret".  The Museum has a large modern tea room which serves hot and cold drinks and light refreshments. 

This event is open to all VMCC eligible motorcycles and outfits, i.e. road legal machines that are at least 25 years old.

Entrants should be aware that there will be no 'back up' on this run.
