F-15E Strike Eagles and airmen from the 492nd Fighter Squadron and supporting units have returned to RAF Lakenheath, external following a six-month deployment to an "undisclosed location" in south west Asia.

Lt Col Jeremy Renken, commander of 492 Fighter Squadron, said it was an incredible deployment on many levels: "The squadron had multiple instances of pilots conducting air-to-air intercepts while their weapons systems officers were conducting strikes - not sequentially, but literally at the same time.

"It's a testament to not only the aircraft and aircrews, but also to the ammo troops, weapons troops, specialists, back shops, and crew chiefs who sent aloft our Strike Eagles and weapons systems that worked flawlessly when there was no margin for error."

Ipswich Town defender Tommy Smith has stepped up his comeback from injury ahead of this weekend's East Anglian derby.

The defender played the first 45 minutes for the Under 23s, as they lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Playford Road yesterday afternoon.

A late penalty won the match for the Eagles. The Under 23s are in action again later in the week when they visit QPR on Friday.

Smith was an unused substitute for Ipswich's first team at Sheffield United last weekend, and is likely to be named on the bench again for Sunday's fixture with Norwich City at Portman Road.

The first Great Yarmouth Airshow could go ahead in 2018, after the event was cancelled this year.

It was due to be held in June, but the organisers blamed spiralling safety costs following terror events in Berlin and London.

The airshow is expected to bring an estimated £10m to the local economy, and is predicted to be the biggest event ever held in the area.

Plans for it to go ahead next year are being considered by Great Yarmouth Borough Council's policy resources committee, external, which meets at 18:30.

It's being recommended the council approves the use of its land for the event, and licenses alcohol and ice cream stalls for the central beach.

John Baker, station manager of one of the four crews who went to the fire, says they don't think it was started deliberately: "We found a bonfire in close proximity and the wind I think has fanned some sparks and embers from that which have then got into the gorse, so I think it's an accidental fire."

The fire has now been put out.

Plans to re-draw Norfolk's parliamentary constituencies have been published this morning.

Unlike some parts of the UK, we get off quite lightly. The proposals include reducing the number MPs from 650 to 600, but Norfolk will still have nine MPs, although the size and shape of every seat will change.

Image source, PA

Most of the changes are minor but the Mid Norfolk constituency will lose Wymondham (which goes back to South Norfolk) while South West Norfolk will be renamed Thetford & Downham Market and cross the border to take in Littleport in Cambridgeshire.

Labour's Clive Lewis may have to work a little harder to hold on to his Norwich South seat which inherits Conservative-leaning Costessey and Cringleford.

His Conservative neighbour, Chloe Smith, who only has a majority of 507, might feel a little safer as Norwich North will extend into Broadland.

But these are only proposals from the Boundary Commission, external.

The public has one final say on the plans and then they'll need to be voted on by MPs.

Given how much else is going on at Westminster, and the fact that these plans do not have cross-party support, it is possible that they'll never get approved.

We've heard of a red sky at night and a red sky in the morning... but what about a red sun in the sky, during daytime?

A disused hotel could be pulled down to allow a £5m rebuild of a care home in Great Yarmouth.

The Arden Court Hotel closed its doors two years ago - and was snapped up by the Kingsley Healthcare group, which owns the Eversley Nursing Home next door.

The Arden Court Hotel closed in 2015, and the owners of the care home had considered linking the two together.

But the company says starting afresh means they can create a modern care home with two lifts and 39 en-suite bedrooms.

Chris May from Kingsley said: "We've got to knock down the hotel, build the first part of the care home ensuring we have all the facilities such as laundry, kitchen and so forth in the first half of the building.

"Technically we'll then decant everybody from the old building into the new building and then pull down the old building."

An application to demolish the hotel, which is on North Denes Road, has been made to Great Yarmouth Borough Council.

Officers seize 13 bags of drugs from a man who 'didn't know what to do with it'.

It was 30 years ago that the worst storm to hit Great Britain in 300 years swept across the south and east of Britain.

The Blickling estate in north Norfolk was directly in its path, losing hundreds of trees in the strong winds.

Stephen Hagon has been a gardener at the National Trust property for 45 years, and he says it was a sight he'll never forget.

"The gardens were a mess, there were trees down everywhere," he said.

"I remember picking our way through the avenues as best we could, but everything was just flat on the ground. We walked around in stunned silence.

"Centuries-old trees were just flattened, we lost a lot of specialist rhododendrons as well... it was a mess... we were used to having the odd tree or branch down that didn't take long to clear up... it was heartbreaking."

He says a lot of the grounds were still closed the following summer.

In total, 265 trees were lost. They were replaced with 365 - one for each day of the year.

Stephen, who's now assistant head gardener, is the only one of the gardeners from that time still working on the estate.

Now, he says, if gusts over 50mph are expected, they close the gardens and woodlands to the public.
