How did you guess?

To add insult to injury, I had conned Mrs @BoldonLad into the ride, I said it was only a 10 mile round trip Chedgrave to Bungay and back), when, in reality, I thought it was 8 miles each way, then.... I took a wrong turning!.... at this point we are about 18 mies in, with another 2-3 to go.

I did buy coffee and cake in Bungay

There's one in Acomb too, been decommissioned though in 2007.

They are impressive structures mind, I believe it was built in 1920's?.

No bike, but I drive past this one regularly on the Tockwith industrial estate, formerly the WW2 era RAF Marston Moor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Marston_Moor
Apparrently Clark Gable was based there in WW2, also one of the units I have to go to is a modern clad building, that’s been extended but it still has the original WW2 metal frame work and concrete flooring from when it was a maintenance hanger,still structurally sound and in use today.
