Why is John Travolta in Norfolk?

The Pulp Fiction star is in the county shooting a short film called The Shepherd.

It is based on a book by Frederick Forsyth that the actor said he has "always loved".

The book is a 1975 novella about the pilot of a De Havilland Vampire jet travelling from RAF Celle in Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk when his jet has an electrical failure.

The pilot encounters a De Havilland Mosquito bomber over the North Sea which has apparently been sent to shepherd him home.

The story, set in Christmas 1957, follows how the pilot is guided to a safe landing and his efforts to identify the pilot who saved him.

Filming is believed to be currently taking place at Raynham Hangar Studios in West Raynham, a former airbase.

What is John Travolta known for?

Travolta is best known for his performances as Danny Zuko in Grease (1978), Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction (1994).

The latter two gained the actor Oscar nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role.

His more recent projects include The People v. O.J. Simpson, Die Hart and Paradise City.

Last Monday, March 28, the actor reunited with his Pulp Fiction co-stars Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson to present the Best Actor Oscar to Will Smith.
