The White House RAF Coltishall
Go figure, the place now has a film studio with a full size replica of the Oval Office in it... I never knew.

Not bad but the carpets and colors change with every president. So a Nixon office does not fit for Obama or Reagan etc.
In LA they have a Nixon office at the Nixon library.
And another one at the Reagan Library.

Aparrently they took over the old sim building Bob, as it has large rooms with attached offices. There is a link on the page 
Nutty
Amazing. What a brilliant use for the old building.
I’m just remembering how I used to wander from the aircrew feeder down towards the sim on a lazy summers day. Never did I realise I was actually walking down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the White House.
Coltishall seems to be a Jack of all trades nowadays.

Drove past there late summer, and there were loads of "not people from Norfolk" tabbing in the garden, from the hautbois main road. .20 years ago, I was walking around there with a SLR guarding the place . Unbelievable! It's a solar farm now..ffs....

Which was much more useful as it doubled as a stool, all be it uncomfortable.

SLR... Walking about and hiding down at the Officers Mess boiler room on our one hour stag as the seats were set up and it was out of the way at 2 AM. NLG on the radio net "This is the voice of the Mysterons, we know you can hear us Earthman!" Followed by the Guard Commander retorting on the net "So can the RAF Police!" Colt, best camp ever.

Colt has 600 people employed in 120 various business renting 80% of the buildings that are not HMP Bure. The old guardroom is now a Hertiage Centre opening as soon as Covid allows it to be.
