It's a dramatic take-off for Jon and Shelly Booty (pictured right) who are now getting their ambitious two-year project off the ground at RAF West Raynham, near Fakenham, Norfolk, after selling their house. Sat between a runway and field of solar panels, the building (pictured left) went up towards the end of the Second World War as a heavy bomber control tower. Flying stopped at the base in 1976 and it remained open as a missile-only station (pictured inset) until 1994 when it was shut by the Ministry of Defence.
