Its great how these bases now look as if they were built in a forrest!!Also provides much needed cover for us at times too:mrgreen:
 
This is an easy place to explore, the hanger with car in it has a footpath going past it about 5 meters away, we (me and the other half) where busy taking pictures and a woman walk past with her dog and never batted an eyelid
 
Have you a site plan of this base.. always good to put a name to the out buildings, I'll have a looky in me folder for ya =)
 
site plan

Ive been looking for a site plan or detailed ordnance survey of the old RAF field (main details being on the 'residential' buldings) for an architectural project. Anyone know where I could get one? As so far all searchess have come up fruitless. (Am currently waiting for the archives at Cosford to get back to me about whether or not the have any recors.)

The RAF Museum will send you copies of the original WW2 maps. They include all buildings and are listed by number, with the usage of each. It costs around £2 a sheet (A2 size), and a good sized airfield costs around £12 -£14 for all the maps. Link below. :)
