Default Hemsby Met Office

Yes, Norman, I certainly remember Bill. I was there in 1961, and I had a
boozy stay at the King's Head, Gt Ormesby. I enjoyed every minuite of the
course.

It does indeed look very sad. It would have been better if they had
completely demolished it. I spent part of November and most of December
1963 there at the Radio-Sonde Training School - great fun! Bill Preston
was in charge of the school - anyone remember him?
