Hi all !!
Its been a while !! Paid two visits to Lincolnshire in just over a month and thought it would be rude not to visit virtually all thats left of RAF Coleby Grange ( 5 miles to the south of Lincoln )!! Opened in April 1940 as a relief landing ground it soon found its role as a night fighter station and as such was provided with a watch office to drawing number 12096/41. It closed in May 1945.
Daytime shots.
The view from the former runway side of the airfield.
View from the upper floor.
Stairs to roof level !! WOULD YOU ?
Watch office windows
and looking through the tower !!
The tower takes on a totally different appearence at night especially on a beautiful moonlit night with a bit of light painting. !!
This is the side view.
Two standard front views
One with some coloured grass
and one with the downstairs lighting on !!
Inside now, this is the bottom of the stairs to the upper floor !!
Looking into the watch office.....
and finally Oldage illuminating the cobwebs on a downstairs window......
Hope you liked em !!
