The Flying Fortress, on the northern edge of Rougham Airfield, is named after the main aircraft type based here in WW2. It is viewed here from the top of an earth mound made during the new estate construction, and across an estate road that does not yet appear on Geograph's Landranger map, now named Lady Miriam Way. The pub, which was converted from a farmhouse, was known for its regular 'blog' in the local newspapers but closed some years ago. With much more house building in the area there are hopes that the owners, the brewers Greene King, may reopen it.
