Great Harrier shots :exclaim:

night fox · May 9, 2009

this is ony half

only half of what is there will go back soon and get some more shots sorry for quality only had my phone .most of these planes are nearly completely intact .

night fox · May 9, 2009

yea sorry

yea it is but you do see people going in and out some times into the tower there always bringing more planes and just going away and leaving them there to rot shame really

Amazing, such a shame that they are there left to decay.

Like the 'surfing' picture, reminds me of Teen Wolf!

Same Devon is such a trek, be worth it though! Great post! :mrgreen:

Nice pics dude

. Still need to get down there for a look. Strange to see the Canberra ended up for airfield training, there's another in the same RAE colour scheme at the Farborough Museum.

South Devon?! That's Cornwall :neutral:

Predannack it is, beautiful part of The Lizard!

It seems incomprehensible that they'd leave such expensive machines to decay there, but also quite serene. Good to see they haven't been tagged on or vandalised hardly.

Beermonster · May 10, 2009

Seeing these beauties abandoned makes me want to cry.

Black Shuck · May 10, 2009

Such a strange site to see. They look quite forlorn and the whole area sort of stopped in time!. The Wessex on its side was a nice touch.

Scotty · May 10, 2009

cracking site, went down there last year with scrub, spikey, underworld.

well worth another visit. like you said really nice place and the planes and choppers are all ways changing.

mass invation visit?

james.s · May 10, 2009

That's awesome! Are they abandoned or just in long-term storage?

They are used for training from the main RAF base further up the road.

More info and pics here

james.s · May 10, 2009

So they are going to get blown up? Or are they used for a different type of training?

A shame nonetheless
