At Trimingham is air defence radar station RAF Trimingham, a satellite station of RAF Neatishead, which has a structure shaped like a giant golf ball and is on the edge of the cliff on the coastal road.
Having previously denied problems, the Ministry of Defence  said, in November 2006, that it would consider claims for compensation after an inquiry found the Type 93 radar spinning inside the dome was "out of alignment".
The MoD stated that the radar had been out of alignment between November 2005 and February 2006, causing car engines and lights to cut out, and speedometer dials to swing up to 150 mph as motorists drove past.
 A local garage owner who ran the nearest garage at Mundesley, said he had dealt with 30 calls over a couple of months.
