RAF Rendcombe was first built in 1914 as a training ground for WW1,despite all the effort and around 300 people being billeted there it only saw action once. After the war it was sold off and has stayed in private hands ever since. 35 years ago a Mr Norman found it and restored the place back to its former glory,even going so far as to plough and re-seed the airfield with the exact same grass seed as was used originally.
Locals know it because of the 'Utterlly Butterly' display team and more recently,if you have the spare £350,the wing-walking Breitling team being based there. Security is tight around the buildings,only a few invitation only events take place each year.
Entrance
Original restored club house
Insert your own hangers joke here...
Breitling wing walkers

Nick Mason (of Pink Floyd drummer fame) is a millionaire car nut and keeps many of his collection here-Supercharged Bugatti type 35,1902 Panhard,Ferrari Daytona,McClaren F1,ex-Steve Mcqueen Ferrari 512S etc etc,no wonder security is tight!
Rendcombe is located 5 miles north of Cirencester on the A435,a bit out on its own but an interesting mooch anyway.
