Fraser Gunnery Range - July 14

Hello all,

Yes, this is a UK explore from me. What's that you say? Never! Haha. I know I have uploaded a load of euro explores but I have been exploring in the uk too.

Thanks to NightTempress for this location. Visited with her and Immortal Shadow.
Nothing left inside but quite afew buildings to have a mooch around and a nudist beach right next to it haha!

Little bit of history for you,

The Fraser Gunnery Range, formally known as HMS Saint George, was originally owned by the MOD. It specialized in training naval gunnery personnel in director sight firing and later was used for radar research. It is now owned by QinetQ, who want to turn the site into housing.
The site was also used as a Dr Who set. The range has been completely derelict for some years and as a result has fallen to the vandals.



Here's a selection of my photos

I went here very recently and the place is over run with builders and machinery rebuilding the sea wall! Hopefully I'll get a chance to go back once theyve finished

Ahhhh nice one. All i saw when i was there was naked people on the nudist beach haha!

Did some of my gunnery training here back in the mid 70's, looked a lot better then !!!

Nice report. We ran into some crowbar wielding metal thieves while in here. Made our exit at this point. I like the graff in the red room

Nice set, Mr Jigsaw!

I couldn't get some of the shots I wanted due to the nudists being in the frame

Yep. It was filmed here!!

Remember back in the 60s firing a bofors gun there. Fired break up shot that turned in to a cloud of lead dust about 200yds out.
