Probably via Paris Orly. Certainly don't attempt to go direct, it'll take weeks.

.....PS. Norwich is a fine city
It was. Like all cities, towns and villages, its been boogered by the developers. The Luftwaffe had a good crack at it, but the developers did the real damage.
Didn't Norwich once boast the same number of pubs and churches, and there were a lot of pubs?
Well I predict you'll be using those old nikon lenses with some fancy new nikon mirrorless at some point, and it'll be a much better experience than you expect as modern EVFs are pretty much there. You'll keep a DSLR of course, but you'll use it less than you think

In the 80s I was told 52 churches and 365 pubs.

It appears that the mount might be the same size (diameter) as the Fuji GFX, maybe Nikon are thinking of introducing a MF sensor at some point further down the line, with the rumored Sony 100MP MF sensor going into a 2019 Fuji GFX100, then maybe we will see something MF from Nikon (that will work with this new 'range' of Nikon optics). By Fuji's own admission they have sold a lot more GFX's than they expected to, and many going to non-professionals, so there is a market there. It won't be cheap, but would certainly liven up the top end prosumer camera market.
I'm not sure the mount size means much wrt the size of the image circle. Large format lenses all come in a few standard mount sizes but have wildly different image circle sizes. Seems like a weird reason to me. It's more likely i'd have thought to give them more flexibility with wider lenses to reduce the angle of incidence, which affects how much vignetting they get and have to deal with in camera.
For example the Hasselblad X-Pan mount is smaller than the canon EOS mount, and yet it covers 70mm horizontal vs the 36mm of the canon system.

Ah, that was it, nothing to do with churches. A pub for every day of the year. My father, who was very fond of pubs, often quoted the fact.

Mr. Perceptive,
Medium format from Nikon? That made my eyebrow go up all quizzical-like. But I'm guessing that like the Fuji GFX it ain't gonna be cheap.
Does anyone know why larger sensors are still so expensive? I'm not asking why a larger sensor (e.g, 24 x 36mm) is more costly to produce than a smaller one (e.g.,16 x 24mm). That one I know to answer to. I'm wondering why sensors only 50% bigger than full frame ones, give or take, are so stupidly expensive.

That seems like a reasonable balance, a church will hold more people than a pub after all.

More pixels is going to mean a higher rejection rate during manufacture, but I'd guess the main reason is that the production costs are higher than with a 36x24mm sensor and they also sell in much smaller numbers, so the development and production costs are spread over far fewer sales.
The first digital SLR I owned was a Canon 300D and cost £1,000. Nowadays you can get something like that free in a packet of cornflakes.

Steve,
I'm guessing the higher price of medium format sensors must be attributable to lower volume. Just a quick example, when you match pixel count (well, almost), the camera with the bigger sensor is almost double the price —
Nikon D850 (~24 x 36mm 45.7 MP sensor ) — $4,400 Cdn
Fuji GFX 50s (~33 x 44mm 51.4MP sensor) — $8,125 Cdn

as steve wrote, it has to do with rejection rates in manufacturing. they make a big sheet/panel of the stuff then chop of the sensor-sized good bits. if you need a larger area, you will get far fewer good (=perfect) ones.

The Bell, as it was in the 80s, was on five floors. Meeting RAF mates in there before the days of mobiles was a bit hit or miss. Especially after a gallon of wifebeater.

the sexual imagery in that is disconcerting. almost as if trump has the japanese running scared.
