The first installment can be found here [ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=21078[/ame]
Right before I start I have to thank both the|td4 and Foz77 for the information they have given me, your stars guys.
Right I managed to have another quick look round here today and found quite a few goodies including another 5 blast shelters (why so many answers on a postcard to ...). I'll start with the 2 buildings that I missed last time these are just south of the 2 stratton shelters in the first installment
This building had a Nissen hut attached to it but sadly it's long gone
toilet area
some features still remain
The tower next to it (some sort of water tower I think judging by the pipe work)
looking up the inside of the tower
Then on to the airfield itself
Aircraft tie down points on the North end of the main runway
drainage for the main runway
don't know what these next two were for but again they were on the sides of the runway
fire hydrant on the northern taxi way
also on the taxi way way these rails, these were the runners for the doors of a T1 hangar
The hangar was removed by the council in the early 80's but here is a photo of it from then
In the plantation behind this were the 2 small arms ammo stores. On the 2002 google earth map for here it shows a third building but there are no signs of it today... anyway
SAA number 1
SAA number 2
I'll leave it there for now and post the other bits and pieces in a little while
Cheers Jon
