RAF Coleby Grange

I'll start with the four remaining defended aircraft dispersal pens although most of the shelters have caved in.The first one was a bit risky as there was nobody about to ask and a bloody great dog roaming around so I couldnt get any closer.

Third one is in a bit of a sad state with only the loopholed war really remaining

Oddly the one right next to the road is the best preserved of the four (anyone wondering about the difference in pics this was done over two trips )

Not at all I'm the same, be better if they were looked after a bit more though

Like you I,m never to keen on big dogs wandering around I tend to get very jumpy! still you got some great images,the control tower is ace.

Thank you for posting this, when I lived in South Yorkshire I remember passing here on a weekend outing, wished I had stopped and had a look around.

Lovely shots, been here a couple of times and never even knew about the e-pens !! Will have to go back now !! Should'ave done my homework last time !!! Whats with the fence around the watch office - that wasnt there the last time i visited !! Thanx for a top notch post !!

Very nice mate, i've been to the tower a few times but its always been far too grown over to see much else....

That's very nice that is Rich,thanks.

Very nice work there Rich just a shame they don't get looked after
