Took a look round here this afternoon with stellauk and waynezbitz1 and his friend. Very interesting place and very eerie with all the abandoned houses and other buildings. Didn't get round much on this occasion, but will return.

Yeah will definitely go back again, much more to see still!

I think the MOD bit he is referring to is RAF Tollerton, we drove past and stopped to have a look,
lots of gliders lol.
 
Like seeing pics of RAF Newton, Drove past that place so many times, and never stopped for a look. They used to train the RAF Dogs there years ago, and one of my dad's friends left his dog to the RAF. Then we were got an invite to see his dog after his training, but then had moved to a base in Essex, so we went down there to see him. Unfortunately when we went, he'd been posted on duty in Northern Ireland, so still didn't get to see him. But were still allowed to walk around the kennels and all the training facities.

Did you manage to get anywhere near the control tower on this visit? or are you going back to finish the place off?

BTW, the former RAF Tollerton is now the local Nottingham City Airport. They also do parachute training there as well.

Here's a link to the airport website.

Excellent stuff guys. Think this is the first time I've seen pics of the interiors. Well done for getting those and look forward to seeing more from further visits in the future. :)
 
Good one.

I used to be a MR search dog handler, we visited the base to see how the RAF trained their guard dogs. Are they still considering turning it into an internment camp got immigrants?
