Heroes of the RAF - RAF Duxford

A history of this iconic airfield from its creation during the Great War, through its years as a front-line fighter base and to its present-day life as the home of the Imperial War Museum.
Local history publications have included:
- "The Miracle of Holt", an illustrated booklet to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1968 mid-air collision between a Victor tanker and a Canberra bomber, nearly three miles above the North Norfolk market town of Holt. Sadly all seven of the aircrew lost their lives, but miraculously, although the town and surrounding area was showered with wreckage and debris, nobody on the ground was killed or injured, and property damage was minimal. This was widely regarded as being a miracle.
- "All Saints High Kelling - 100 Years" an illustrated booklet to mark the hundredth anniversary in 2024 of the first service in the hospital chapel that eventually became All Saints Church in the North Norfolk village of High Kelling. All Saints is said to be the smallest church in the Norwich Diocese, and it began its life as a chapel for one of the several TB sanatoriums in the area. When more effective treatment for TB became available, the sanatoriums began to close and the redundent chapel was offered to the residents of the growing community of High Kelling for £500. Following its purchase, for many years the church was run on a largely informal basis until eventually it was fully recognised within the Norwich Diocese and became part of the parish of Holt with High Kelling.
