Predannack opened in 1941 as an RAF base, but today is the satellite airfield to RNAS Culdrose - it is a restricted MOD site and an active airfield used daily for flying training and also provides our Fire Fighting training facility. The area is heavily utilised by Culdrose helicopter squadrons...

My first real Urban Exploration was done on that airfield. This is where it all began for me and it wasn't even that long ago!  The airfield opened in 1936, initially for the usage for civilian air traffic such as sport flying (if that's a word). Not only that but the area was also used for...

History Going to be brief as this is everywhere, I'd recommend rafchurchfenton.org.uk if you're looking for a solid reference on the subject. RAF Church Fenton was opened in 1937, during WW2 it had a defensive role protecting the northern Industrial cities from bombing raids. It also hosted...

Paid a visit to Predannack Airfield in Cornwall which is an amazing place and well worth the trip if you are down this way with plenty to see History Admiralty surveyors first started preliminary surveys of land near Helston in 1942. RNAS Culdrose was commissioned as HMS Seahawk five years...

Splored with Silent Night :)

Ok I have visited this place various times now but never got round to posting it up. Others I have visited with have posted it in various places. The condition of the plane has gone down hill each time I have returned which is a real shame. There is a small amount of history if you hunt around...

Every time I go on an explore my two youngest look at the photos and I hear "Dad, Dad, can we come with you?" So today I decided it was time, armed with a torch, their £20 Argos cameras, and their Grandad, I took them to the decoy airfield at Nazeing History taken from...

On the way down to Pembroke Dock for the day, hood_mad and I stopped off near Carew Airfield to have a look at the radar protection site the other side of the main road. Inside one of the little bunkers. The flooded one. A small explore, but the little...
