airfield

History Caversham Airfield, also known as Middle Swan Airfield, was built during World War II, becoming operational around 1944. It was intended as a military airfield and was associated with both British naval aviation and American forces. The airfield had three runways arranged in a triangle...

This report is about Colinski Airfield located within RAF Spadeadam. As the Airfield only makes up a small part of the 9,000 acre facility, which incorporates other disused areas, it seems only right to name it accordingly. Colinski Airfield is 3 mock crushed stone runways arranged in a...

Another one from 2023. It turns out I have a lot of visits I never uploaded here. I don't know why! This was one from another weekend in Kent in the summer of 2023. It was a very warm day and we happened to be in the area, so stopped of for a quick nose around. We weren't here long due to the...

I'm sure you've already heard a lot about this place and its amazing history so I will just go straight to my visits there and what you can do and see there. I've been here well over 10 times and you always see something new which your usually not expecting. There are 3 main blocks of buildings...

This is down the road from me, yet I've never really bothered doing a proper explore until now... was a snowy day again, much like my explore of RAF Culmhead (Here), had a soundtrack of some cars cocking about on the snow for the entire visit. It is mostly open to the public, except for the...

HMS Blackcap was originally built for the RAF during WW2 as a night fighter station to protect Liverpool but due to changes in the Luftwaffe tactics it was not required and was handed over to the Navy in 1942. Forty-one Fleet Air Arm Squadrons were based there for varying periods, some aircraft...

I've been trying to track down all the disused RAF airfields that are relatively close to me, and these two are very close together, so going to cover them in one report. This is mainly because there's very little at Upottery except for the runway and control tower, but it's still interesting...

Not really sure if this qualifies as Urbex or not, as you can just drive onto the runways... Probably private, but fair game with no signs or fences 🤷🏻‍♂️ Can't beat an old RAF airfield, and this one hasn't been posted much or recently. It was my first proper outing with the drone too, so...

THE HISTORY This airfield is no stranger to explorers, nor has it had a quiet past, and as such has had its history thoroughly covered online. However, I will recover it below. Also, to make up for this place having been done to death I've added a few side-by-side comparisons with another very...

Yes, despite it being a functioning airfield. Can confirm security is very lax as I've been in on 3 separate occasions. Well worth a visit because planes are frequently changed and scrapped. Most recently climbed into a vintage Boeing 727. If any questions on how to enter please drop me a...

Predannack has, as we all know, been done to death. However, I thought I'd best chuck a few pics up as I've not done a report for a while. Obligatory Wiki copy and paste: "Predannack Airfield is routinely used for training purposes by helicopters from the Royal Navy. RNAS Culdrose is the...

After seeing some of my friends do this battle HQ I hopped on to google & found where it was located ( I also just doubled check with my friends who been to make sure it was the right pin ) We hopped in the car and drove down to Hawkinge once we got there it was pretty simple to park up and...

At the risk of upsetting many people but I was fortunate enough to get a holiday last year, so back down to Cornwall it was & although this place has been done to death it was one I wanted to tick off. Predannack Airfield on the Lizard Peninsula. The runways are operated by the Royal Navy...

Plenty of reports on this but I never tire of seeing them so here’s mine. Used as a mock airfield for nearby RAF Spadeadam, this place was an absolute bastard to get to and possibly the only time you’re guaranteed to get a girl wet by showing her abandoned cold war airplanes. So much of a...
