Report - RAF Upper Heyford

[True_British_Metal]

Visited with my dear friend Hazel, my urbex Chum Mookie and his friend Scott on 16/1/10. Man what a day. Starting off with shit weather, and failing the hospital due to undisclosed reasons (Donut Man knows) and doing the school which was rubbish then hitting gold and doing a location NO-ONE here or on any UE forums have done! Yeah it was stripped of all equipment and beds but the murals and posters were BRILLIANT! Did a few outbuildings as well.

I won't post the history because everyone who is aware of Heyford will be aware of it so on with the pics. Before I do, I'll post my review of the locations visited (see my Hospital report and you'll see what I'm referring to).

School

No joke. Its blue Asbestos. DISTURBED IN SOME PLACES!

I didn't stay to take a pic of the asbestos close up where it had been disturbed but that roof must have some in the middle.

There are still interesting pieces inside the abandoned hangers
The echo inside one of these is unbelievable, I entered one in pitch darkness, while we waited for the lights to come on, being sodium powered they took a few minutes to come to full power, it was like a big cave opening up in front of you, a great experience

Lights just coming to full power.

Original paperwork still abounds of how to get 2 F-111's in the hanger.
