After visiting RAF Newton to see it for my last time as demo/ building has started i thought i would have a look at the bombstores and training area on the other side of the base.

Visited a few weeks ago with Goldie87

1st an update on the main Newton site....cinema etc has now gone and houses stand where they were.....still quite a bit left though so if you have never been you had better be quick! (some of the site is still used as an industrial estate but this is going too- the only bits being kept are the hangers)

Guardhouse- now with sales office opposite :mad:

The doors are painted on but the hinges and locks are real :confused:

Now this I like. More MOD sites being used to their full potential. I like the painted doors and real hinges. I'm assuming it was for distraction purposes.Any other ideas?
