A little 'splore that had to be done after seeing some recent pics of 'that car'. Wasn't disappointed, on what turned out to be a very relaxed couple of hours!!

Visited with _NyX_

RAF Croft started as additional living accommodation for H.M.S. Gosling located at Risley. H.M.S. Gosling was commissioned on 8 October 1942 and was paid off in 1946. That station was dedicated to the Fleet Air Arm and was a training base. H.M.S. Aeriel was also paid off and on 1 February 1956 was opened up as RAF Croft to process people in and out of the U.K. Although it was called RAF Croft it should not be confused with another RAF Croft which was up north and used by the RCAF during the war.​

Well onto the pics, I hope you enjoy. ;)

Great set guys. I've visited this place twice in the last five weeks now and on the second visit had a chat with one of the property developers who arrived on site for a nosey around. No issues with him whatsoever though and we continued to shoot. I'll post a report on here shortly. Quick question though, how did you manage to climb on top of the roof?
 
Was a really lovely place to explore :) Excellent report, I'd not know it's history until now ! Berry Nice photos :) :p
