Halesworth Air Field Museum - A Flying Visit
Halesworth Air Field is closely connected with the Boxted Air Field for several reasons.. I always wanted to go and see the museum, and when out with the modelling club (last spring) we came across it quite by chance..
Unfortunately it was only a quick unplanned stop, but I hope to go again at some point!

Dwile Flonking (1967)
Geldeston, Suffolk.
Various shots show the Waveney Valley Dwile Flonkers having a drink outside the Wherry Inn; mostly men, they are dressed in odd yokel clothing. The group make their way to a field where they jump up and down to test the ground before going through the age old ritual of Dwile Flonking.
This involves the group running in a circle around one man who tries to toss (flonk) a dishcloth (dwile) soaked in beer over one of their heads. The man fails which means he has to drink a pot of ale before the dwile is passed along the line of men. More silly business of the same vein; the referee gets sent off. A man falls backwards from his chair, supposedly drunk, at the end of this match between the teams from Beccles and Bungay.
Note: on file are various pieces of correspondence and notes on this custom. Cuts exist - see separate record.
