The subject line is a bit vague as the owners were spot on with us and asked us not to put the location out there.
If this report tickles your fancy and you would like to visit, drop me a PM and I'll give you Tims mobile number.
The best spot in the site (the room with the drawings / maps) is under lock and key and they were more than happy to unlock it for us.
The Chapel.
Brick cross on the wall.
Shot from the bottom end of the site.
Prefab roof joist.
Demolished building with urinal and chimney still present.
Boiler room on the left of the photo.
Close up of the boiler room.
These were hanging just above the entrance to the boiler room.
Fancy a climb??
Look strong?
Not so strong from this angle.
Captian slow and hood_mad at one of the locked buildings.
Demolished.
Other ranks accomodation.
Accomodation to the left, toilets to the right.
Water storage in the tower visible on top of the building.
Lightweight trailer.
Officers quarters.
Drying room.
Two I beams had corroded away leaving only one to support this boiler.
Water storage?
Fireplace in the NAAFI. This had four fireplaces all using the same chimney.
A bit out of focus, but you get the idea.
Outside the NAAFI.
There were a load of drawings on the wall inside the locked building, est @ about 1950ish.
Drawing of a Sea Vampire.
You can just make out "Shell" and "Esso" trademarks on these cans.
Original Phone.
After we'd done the accomodation side, we headed south west to the airfield proper.
Shelter identical to the ones at Carew airfield.
Underground HQ nearby. (Captain slow has some inside pics.)
A great day out, we spent about 5 hours wandering about the site.
Again, the site is well open, but if anyone wants above board access or just wants to see the drawings and maps, drop me a PM and I'll give you Tims number.
