Great Britain Raf R 2012-2013

[darbians]

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.

Down And Out

A venture out to the control tower sadly access was denied.

From here I could see a strange green dome

Welcome To The Terrordome

I was able to gain access to this strange dome. My ears were not prepared for what I was about to hear!! The echo in this building was insane, with the camera set to 3 brackets it sounded like I was taking 20 or something.

Echo Dome

I venture back into the site and the sun starts to come out and I manage to capture these nice reflections.

A Window Of Reflection

So I wander over to another part of the site across the road. I never expected to find such grand rooms.

A Grand Room On An RAF Site

Three doors

So I check upstairs and find some living quarters.

Creeping In

Its starting to get dark by now so I decide to head home.

After gaining access to the water tower roof in another site I thought it be nice to capture a sunset from the roof of the water tower here, sadly it was sealed but I did check another building out which I had not been in before.

Through The Portholes

Pretty much taken from the very same spot just upstairs.

Mate,I love this very much...I think your first two pics feature main frames,so its a Comms room.The shot showing the 3 arched doorways are the classic design of the Officers Mess entrance seen in many RAF bases.For me,the green dome shot is lush.
