I am happy to say no one has posted this place yet!!!

I had to get special permission to walk around here as this land is now owned by Bernie Ecclestone!! It is also adjacent to airfield land so I could go wandering around too far!!

Enjoy :D

Please do not try to break into these grounds as the Police Dog Unit use it for training! You will get eaten by a vicious doggy or two!!!!

Its a shame most of the RAF buildings in BH have been demolished as it was such an important place!
 
Yeah! Bernie decided to paint them and also paint some of the other buildings green!
 
He bought it for something to make money on, he would not do it if there was nothing in it and history has nothing to do with it.
 
He has over 80's vehicles stored in one of the buildings and he owns the hanger's that where built in 1948 (he re did the rendering on the outside). He keeps his plane and two of his friends planes here.

The buildings were supposed to be used to as F1 HQ until he decided to build 'Sapphire House' a little way down the road.

The building are now all empty and unused!
