Default Hemsby (ex) weather station

OK Norman show us your age, I think 'Bismuth' went westward from the
Hebrides over the Atlantic, tell us the names of the flight north over the
Norwegian Sea and the one that went SW from Cornwall, 'Allah' and 'Epicure'
sound familiar. There may have been one from Norfolk over the North Sea

Very sad to see it in this state (recent photo):

Sign of the times Jack :-(

IMHO a radiosonde station at Hemsby (03496) would still be very
useful indeed.

I would also include all the others that have disappeared, like
Stornoway, Shanwell, Long Kesh, Aughton, Shoeburyness and the 'on
request' ascents which were done at several RAF stations.

And don't forget the soundings from OWS "India", "Juliette" and "Kilo"
- and even the Bismuth flights (but I'm really showing my age there!).
