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...

Tucked away just a stone’s throw from Gatwick sits Schlumberger House, a hulking shell of an office block that’s been empty for the best part of two decades. Built in the late 1970s, it was once the UK headquarters of Schlumberger – the French-American oilfield services giant. In its heyday the...

These have been posted around quite a bit but they are cool so worth a report. There are 5 old Blackpool airport crash tenders here in total along with various other cool cars. I don't know an awful lot about airport crash tenders but from what i can find online i believe these are...

Brabazon Hangar, Filton Airfield, South Gloucestershire Some minimal history - there is a hell of a lot of history surrounding Filton Airfield as a whole so I would certainly recommend reading up on it if Aviation history tickles you. Filton Airfield, otherwise known as Filton Airport...

Explore: Despite relatively easy access this site is neighboring an active airport and a MOD base, although when we went everything was quite and we didn't see anyone I would recommend to stay out of site in this location. The multiple buildings have a handful of items connecting to the...

Copied from Essex live.. A graveyard of abandoned planes lies hidden away between an Essex hotel and an airport. Just a few hundred metres away from London Southend Airport is the Skylark Hotel, along Aviation Way. The Hotel owns a section of land which boarders the airport, which is...

Ok....here goes! This is my first post at an attempt of a report on a location that I used to travel through while living in Sabah East Malaysia and flying offshore through a huge almost abandoned terminal just outside Kota Kinabalu, which is the Capital of the Borneo region. I know its pretty...

known about this one for a while and decided to have a look, we had a look around for any entrances and found a gate that was open just enough to squeeze through into the back of the airport . first we had a look in some outbuildings that were heavily vandalized, still,some very old computer...

History: Liverpool (Speke) Airport (also known as Speke Aerodrome, ICAO: EGGP) was the original Airport of Liverpool, 280 kilometers northwest of London. Although it is officially still in use, I consider the current Liverpool John Lennon Airport a new airport, as it shares only the ICAO...
