RAF Upwood Cambridgeshire October 2012

This is my first report so please be gentle. I visited RAF Upwood in October. It's a large abandoned RAF base in the small village of Upwood. The site closed in 1995 but is used mainly for airsoft, but I believe some of the hangers are still in use and there is a factory on site which I believe is also still in use. I am sure a lot of this has been covered in other reports but if you want to learn more you can find more information here

I hope you enjoy these images, I only have a fairly standard digital camera, no SLR just yet. I've tweaked the levels slightly on most images to make them clearer. Others have a slight colour balance change, hopefully nothing too much to put people off.


So much to see I feel I've barely covered it. Looking forward to visiting again.

I did enjoy them, thanks for sharing.

You almost have to love that level of dereliction. Well done mate.

Excellent first report! Fantastic photos! look forward to seeing more of your reports.

Well done a great report.

nice work mate

Great stuff....

That was well worth the looking at.

Nice report, good to see the link to the airfield history site, thanks.
What is the tracked vehicle in picture 16?

Russian made PT76 tank. Not sure why it is there. There are in fact two. I assume they were added when they started using the site for airsofting.

Cracking photos. Last few times I have been past I have not been able to get. Been inside twice and still not covered all of it!

I adore that pic of the stairs, the colours are lovely! Good job!

great pics well done, one of my favourite local explores, great place, took me two days to see it all, including the bunkers and the commanders house, the place is going to rack and ruin,lots of history with this one though.
