Since I started shooting abandoned stuff this was one I always wanted to see. While I was in Lincolnshire for work I randomely saw this on the hill side and thought it would be rude not to stop and have 5 minutes. It was raining, super windy and I only had a few minutes spare. I struggled to...

A vast site with one or two buildings still in use. Of a similar design to other bases in the area. In pretty good condition due to being surrounded by housing and onsite security. This was my favourite room on the site. I am not really sure what this actually is. 1 The exchange! 2...

Another from the archive, and another one with great memories attached. I met one of my best exploring buddies in April 2010 when he was brand new to urbex and the first thing he said he wanted to do was Greenham Common at sunrise. Well a year and a half after that was first mooted isn't too...

Another one for the archives really,but still important as most if not all of what I filmed is still there.First visited in 2005 for a post sunday dinner walk,then became one of my obsessions.Be gentle with the quality of pics due to me using a simple Kodak Digi point n shoot..never got into...

I am surprised this hasnt been reported on before to be honest,so if you are familiar with it then my appologies.. :lol: Wee bit of history: Opened as an air base in 1918,taken over in the early 50`s by the Americans,this was the home to the F1-11`s till closure late 1994.Now a Heritage...

Opened it 1927,the Former RAF flying corps club passed into the hands of the Americans who added the last modern bar called Jandys.The living areas were quite respectable and the ballroom held host to big name stars.Closing along with base in 1994,the building quickly suffered from the damp,so a...

Another explore with my long suffering..she actually liked this one!!Met the Farmer called Basil,who was ok with us exploring as long as we didnt put the pics online! Info: RAF Charmy Down was a World War II airfield in England located approximately three miles north of the centre of Bath...

Another explore with the long suffering,but she declined the excitement of this one and stayed in the car!! RAF Chenies was an R8 Ground Control Intercept (GCI) radar station (code HAM) built in the 1950's as part of the post war ROTOR Programme. While most post war GCI stations utilised an...

Took the long suffering for a stroll round this sheep ridden base,but she got bored fairly quickly!! .As of early 2010, much of RAF Upwood is unused, closed by the Ministry of Defence in 1994. Most of the base was vacated and the land and buildings sold off to civil ownership. In 2004 Turbine...

Explored with 2 non members Walked around for almost 3 hours with a hangover trying to find the entrance to this place :(

Visited with TBM and Cookie monster, This has been in my pipeline for a while so glad that i finally got around to going here and been in the 1st Group to crack it. Warning to anyone else going there is security on the main site as we bumped into his dog but luckily not him however the dog was...

Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces during World War II and the United States Air Force during the Cold War. After the Cold War ended, it was closed in 1993. The airfield was also known for the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp held outside...

Big thanks to TBm and Northern Ninja for cracking this and the intel............ Explored with UrbanGinger,Stealth and Obscurity.. No mishaps or hassles with getting to the bunker other than a man in a red van with his dog being nosey so no grand stories of our escapades im afreaid..(yay i...

I went for a look on a sunny morning with Frosty and a non member. The buildings are in a very bad state and everything insight has been smashed but there were a few bits that make this place worth a look if you are in the area. We were here about an hour but then saw a few blokes walking...

Based high on the Lincolnshire wolds, approximately 5 miles South-East of Louth, RAF Stenigot opened in 1940 as a WW2 Radar station. It was part of the Chain Home radar network to provide long range early warning for raids from along the approaches to Sheffield and Nottingham and the central...

A days trip lead us to here and several other sites, I'd love to write some history about this place but I cannot find any that hasn't been done before !. never the less if you have not been here I'd recommend it !. We decided to look around the remaining building which was secured...

Took a walk around Newton again today, to see what access was like, still easy as. It was also a visit to see what was happening here, Turns out that they have put in for planning permission to build an "eco" town here, build starts sometime next year, was on the news yesterday, which I missed:(...

Managed to pursuade Jesus (for the first time in fooking aaaaaages) and BravoZeRo to join me on a winter wonder round the former RAF base, saw a few new sites today but got spooked by chavs sporting balaclavas who later turned out to probably be fellow UE'ers Anyhoo, on with pics, usual entry...

I went for a wonder over to the Officers mess at RAF hawkinge for a little look see, unfortunately the mist was pretty thick so most of my pictures are pretty crap. Love the murals on the walls. Over all the place is a death trap, the roof is gone in the most part, entire rooms have collapsed...
