43 m. ago ‘Are we safe, if nuclear weapons are here?’: trepidation in Norfolk village over new jets

Some in Marham are troubled by news that its airbase could host nuclear warplanes, but others are relaxedThe genteel west Norfolk village of Marham does not seem to be at the forefront of Britain’s military might.
