Though some Bugattis were clearly for racing others were intended for the glitterati to holiday on the Côte D'Azur but inexplicably there's nowhere to put your evening clothes ... or anything else. We did ask two owners about the total absence of boots, glove boxes or anywhere to put anything but it was like asking why Harley's have tiny petrol tanks, if you have to ask you don't understand.
we 22 Apr 2015	We attended our first election hustings yesterday, it was in the Wingfield Barns and organised by the Country Landowners Association. There was pretty much one of each flavour candidate but only Labour's Jack Abbot and the Green's Rhodri Griffiths (he lives in Parham) standing in Central Suffolk. To be honest we didn't stay long and during that time the audience neither booed or cheered but it was nice to see some election activity.

A visit to the museum is never a wasted trip, it's free admission, the volunteers are eager to tell you about the exhibits, the cafe is now much bigger and we heard of the museum's early days from Mick Tipple. Much enjoyed sitting peacefully alone in the greenhouse thingy on top of the control tower listening to the rain pitter patter and not thinking of anything in particular ... good times.
mo 12 May 2014	Very pleased to welcome new supporter Parham Airfield Museum who are open every Sunday and holiday Monday until October. Next available advertising slot now 25th May at just £12.95 ... did we say we get around 18,000 visitors a month?

mo 3 Mar 2014	There is a Parham in the USA, one in Canada and another on Antigua the Caribbean island so we rather suspect the Parham in this postally used 1905 postcard is something to do with Parham Park in West Sussex rather than Parham near the coast.
