Hay folks... well as I had a few hours spare before I started work so I thought I would visit my old friend RAF Grafton Underwood for a nice relaxed solo explore well not a lot has changed since my last visit last year but as the winter months are here and hardly any leaves on the trees she gives up a few more of her secrets.
Now the ops room seams to be used for party’s and raves as there is now a carpet of beer cans and drink bottles scatted all over the place which is such a shame to think only 70 years ago it played a big part in helping to win the war with organising bombing missions and such the like.
Now there is still a few little treats to see in the airfield part of the airbase but is very much a working farm so I did not venture to far on to the airfield as the farmer really gets upset over trespassers and there was a lot of rumbling of farm machinery around so I will save that for another day.
For those who have not yet seen or herd about RAF Grafton Underwood please check out my archive report from last year for some old photos and history

there is a few of these old toilets scatted around the site some have a single wall still standing some just a single piss pot
A trig piller (thanks for the info wirelessmast)
Now im not sure if this is the remains of a radio mast or the remains of a anti-aircraft gun so if any one can let me no i will be very greatful
and of course i had to get a cheeky one from the airfield SAS style now there is another one of these knocking about in a lot better state but by this time time was running out and had to head home
