I thought I had better make the effort to have a look at what passes for a local site to me nowadays before Taylor Wimpey create more rows of awful identikit box homes on the site imminently. All in all an enjoyable mooch around a very stripped RAF site, saw some good stuff even in the pissing rain.

Whilst there bumped into Goldie87 and co, was nice to put a couple of faces to names in the semi-dark of the sports hall!

Thanks for looking more here https://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157649420846681/ :p
 
nice to meet you two today mate :)
we checked on the bunker and its proper sealed up :(
got soaked too
 
Many thanks for the great photos!! I live only 10 minutes from the site but have so far failed to go (if anybody is up for going there anytime soon, I'd happily come along - please let me know).
I have, however, been in the building with the bowling alley about 8 years ago when some parts were still in use and loved it.

There is also a building with a large pool - I'd love to see that. It is a big site though with many buildings so I guess it would take some time to see it all.

It is a fantastic place but Taylor Wimpey will only destroy it with their approximately 400 nasty mini box style houses/ flats. (I have seen the plans and objected to them as they are depressing to say the very least). I feel sorry for the people who will have to spend a small fortune to live there as it also backs right onto the M40 motorway - so peaceful it is not.
They are also taking down about 800 mature trees on the site. The only positive thing is that they have to keep the bunker as far as I know as it has been classified as a listed building recently. :)
