RAF Bicester Bomb Store – June 2014 Visited back in June with TBM, many delays have held me back lately sadly. #1 Bomb Stores #2 #3 Fuse Hut/Nissen Hut #4 #5 Bit derpy but lots of wartime history

The day began with hamtagger and i en route to Derby Royal Infirmary. There were a few undesirable chaps there weilding bats so we left after an hour or so. I still got an alright partial report out of it though (Feel free to check it out ;) ) On the way back home to Lincoln we decided to...

Nice one to Zyge for sorting out the visit. This site was unreal when you think of the history of it, and it was nice to get the guided tour around it all. Apart from my little daughter complaining that it is not us fun exploring when you are allowed to be somewhere, it is more fun when you are...

A few pics only im afraid. The Place is huge with lots of unstable areas and last battery was on its way out after a weekend of locations above and below ground. The RAF Fauld explosion was a military accident which occurred at 11:11am on Monday, 27 November 1944 at the RAF Fauld underground...

Visit Visited this place with a non-member, was great to have some fresh air and the lack of that appealing aroma of pigeon crap which has accompanied me on most of my recent trips, This was the first explore with a non-member (Thanks for the invite) and a nice relaxing explores with some...

Not much history wise about this place, Was open for 5 years, 1940-5, Used to be an overflow airfield then joined up to what now is a local airport. The airfield consisted of two Sommerfeld Tracking runways, a concrete perimeter track, 1 T1 building and 8 Blister Hangars. Most of this...

I was told by a friend that this place had been completely demolished, then by another that there was still some buildings left. After a few beers on a Friday night I decided to carry out a bit of research on-line, including a little mooch around on google streetview and discovered several...

RAF RAYNHAM, Raf SCULTHORPE and a old farm. North Norfolk. July 2013 Rather than bore you to death with 3 posts that have all been done to death, I thought I would whack the day trip into 1 report. Visited with my good side kick and mini me daughter, Theanonymousexplorer, Seeker and his wife...

Visited here with a few other non user explorers and had a good old look about and had a fab time History: Work on RAF Coltishall was started in February 1939. The airfield, then known as Scottow Aerodrome, was initially built as a bomber base, on land near Scottow Hall. Following the...

RAF 'Santas Grotto' is a closed RAF base in the UK. In the past it has had various military uses, and still to this day hosts firearms training and has living quarters in military use. Why Santas Grotto? Well when we managed to get in we were like kids at Christmas! This site is large...

This is my first post and I'm aware this place has been covered a few times but not for a while so here goes. Set off for St John's Asylum and was highly disappointed that all possible ways in to any of the buildings have recently been reinforced with copious amounts of 6 inch screws. Gutted ...

Vistied here with Seeker1701. Picked him up on a very very wet morning to recce another site which was a no go so we decided to head to this one. upon arrival all seemed well and we entered the site. I was amazed at how much stuff was left behind and this was just the first building we entered...

The plan was to get picked up by another explorer to go and look at a site just for a recon in the pouring rain with the idea of protecting our cameras with bags and umbrellas and then move on to the real goal which was one of two airbases. Once in the car we decided that RAF Sculthorpe was to...

We left the city quite early to head to what i thought was a ROC R3 ROTOR bunker that was not too far away, I was wrong on both counts! So there we were, four explorers fueled with nicotine and coffee on the road armed with cameras,tripods and enough light to blind any low flying aircraft that...

RAF Stenigot was opened in 1940 as an east coast Chain Home radar station. Stenigot provided long range early warning for raids from Luftflotte V and the northern elements of Luftflotte II along the approaches to Sheffield and Nottingham and the central midlands. East coast stations were built...

2013: I believe this is up for demo. 2011: So not having urbexed for MONTHS :-(, I got to do the Skyking, which is something I'd been meaning to do for a while. We had a guided tour round the place with a very knowledgeable man who has worked at Heyford for 36 years! The Skyking was first...

2013: Totally gone bar golf ball and towers 2010: Moved from Heathrow to Chenies in 1950, this site was home to the ground control intercept R8 Rotors Radar. The site was open till 1995, when it shut, but part of it is still live and owned by the MET office, where it houses the giant golf...

2013:I believe they are in the process of demo now. 2010: Ok, so we all know about this place and its been done to death! But here is a selection of my eventful day last week! Originally opened as an RAF base in 1918, Heyford was passed on to the USAF, where it became a kind of “Mini...

So it's about time i got my report of this up ^^, after getting a random message from SK asking if i could get to a place to get picked up early the next morning, i knew this was going to be a good one. so getting up at silly splore o'clock i met up with him, trog and peaces and jumped in the...

RAF folkingham I really enjoyed this shoot at the RAF folkingham graveyard until we were politely asked to leave by Mr Green. I didn't get everything i wanted to get but i hope you enjoy what i did manage to capture in the short time we had.
