Visited with Ghost Walker on the first sunny day in a good month. Now, we're not the first people here, and we'll by no means be the last, this site appears to be top of the UK explorer's tourist list and I can totally see why. We didn't make it around a lot of the site, and unfortunately there were contractors working in the Airhouse ( on a sunday?!) so I return visit is definitely in order.

Here's a couple of photos from when Matthew McConaughey and Penélope Cruz explored cells 3 & 4 back in 2005;

And 4 years later, a bit has changed. There's no barrells of industrial waste around, but the lovely plastic cladding and evidence of the conveyor system still exist.

You would have thought the MOD would be a little more careful as to where they leave classified documents...

Looks like you had a good time in our fave playground.Adders,did you see any adders in the woods?
 
I wasn't looking for any adders to be honest, was keeping an eye out for squaddies and "suspicious objects." I mean, the sign is too inviting to ignore.
 
Brown folder = unclassified I'm afraid.

If they were classified they'd be in a green folder and if they were secret a red folder.

:)
 
Good photos, im still learning how to use my Cannon 40D to its full potential!!

You guys looked like you had a lot of kit with you tho ;)

Maybe bump into you again :lol:
 
Couple of mine, only of Cell 3 and Cell 4. None of the other photos looked that exciting IMO. Will dig the ones out from my first visit as well at some point.

I'd heard that they had been moving reptiles etc. outside the plastic reptile fencing....not sure if that's correct or not. But don't move the sheets of corrugated stuff cos that's where they are gathering from?

Nice pictures as always.

Ahh, so that's what the corrugated sheeting was for. We assumed it was marking out an outer-patrol route.
 
The fibreglass barrier in the woods runs round much of the site and is meant to keep the critters from going onto said site and addering people.One addered poor old Harvester!!

By the corrugated stuff, I meant that there are various bits of corrugated sheeting laid around in the woods (or so I've heard;)) and the critters are/were being collected/counted from under them and then moved outside barrier!

Hope the adders survived their interaction with your members! (NOOOO what am I saying - that paints an awful picture of males with trouser snakes and snakes!:lol:)

Sorry have a tendency to wander off topic a bit!

Yup sure did, accidently stood on it as it was coiled up basking in the sun, I jumped up and shat meself nearly! yelled "SNAKE" !!!!! and Stu being compasionate said "don't be stupid, keep the noise down".....as he walked past another!!
 
Def need to go here, i cant resist the technology and history of this place, it is a must see, will have to organise a road trip sometime soon
 
They are impressive pics. I might not bother posting my poxy abandoned school photos now!! Still, you have to start somewhere.
 
Here's a clip from when Craig Charles explored the place...
