I looked at this site over a year ago and planned to do a shoot the following week. Turned up early the following week and found the gate blocked by big rocks and the wholes in the fences mended. Thought I would go and check it out again, some of the rocks are still there and the wholes in the fence have re-appeared. It's a massive site with over 70 buildings originally and 45 still standing. I have seen a post for here from a few years ago but since then the road into it has been re-done possibly for re-developing although what for is anyones guess. It looks like the internal roads have been recently with a road sweeper.
found this o the net about the site and saw the Kites
Built around 1955 as a Remote Weapons Store for RAFWittering after the airfield changed use over several years from a Fighter Station to a Bomber Command Station, now decommissioned and awaiting ‘Adaptive Reuse’,Collyweston ESA is a fascinating site set deep in the woods with an eerie silence across it, occasionally punctuated by calling Red Kites soaring high above the treetops
