Christmas Cakes at Three O'Clock - Over and Out

For many years the Catering Section at RAF Coltishall made a regular donation of Christmas Cakes which were shared between the OC events at Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Unfortunately, due to the base closing this has come to an end.

On April 1st, 2006 the iconic Jaguar fighters flew from RAF Coltishall for the last time, marking the end of the aircraft's 32-year association with Coltishall. 66 years of operational flying at the illustrious Battle of Britain station has finished and the base will close completely later in the year.

This picture taken in December 2004 by a RAF staff photographer shows Sergeant Mark Taylor and other members of the team presenting cakes, all individually crafted by members of the Catering Section, to Mike Hope, the founder of Norwich Open Christmas.

Our thanks go to all the RAF personnel involved in making the cakes and crafting the decoration over the years.
