Thanks to mookster for his help on this one.this was the last visit of the day just before the meet up.it was a lovely couple of hours solo exploring this place.steeped in history even though it is just an empty shell.the light was low when I arrived which meant there was some fantastic light.the site based at Bentham opened in 1917 and shut in 1963.it was used not to build the planes but to build prototypes and test them.the first jet engine was tested and built here.the site has been used by several companies since.but now lays mainly unused.there are six buildings on site..two hangars.the main hangar,a live building which had lights on.another building next to that which was in a real state.then the admin building which showed signs of a fire.i knew there was some serious stuff went on here when I went in one hangar and it had "warning radiation" on the wall.
