If the weather is as nice as the last few days, pop down to Felixstowe to see the Catalina flying boat and a couple of others.

Main seafront & town will be quite busy, so I'll be watching them from the cliff tops near my gaff.

If you fancy a brew before trotting off to the cliffs then PM me and I'll let you know my address. Plenty of parking for bikes

Otherwise the Cliff top cafe sells the best coffee I've ever had and great ice creams. There's parking for bikes there, although it'll be very busy if the weathers good and I need to check if they charge for bikes too.

Nah,
Felixstowe cliff tops, on the way to Felixstowe Ferry.

You might get to see it from your locality Mac, but the fly past is meant to be along our seafront past the town hall near the leisure centre.

Perhaps I can get the Catalina crew to depth charge the town hall and all the councilors, and get the Spitfire to finish off any stragglers ;)

I'll be heading there with no detours, leaving Norwich just before 1pm...too many things to do in the morning like figure out how to make my gate wider to fit my new bike and speak to the insurers and find out what the deal is with 2 bikes and not losing my no claims for this year...
