base

I left the family to cook in the afternoon heat as I retraced my previous days driving to a dropped pin on Google maps. I saw this place as I drove past and waited for the sun to ease before going over the top. AFAIK There is nothing online relating this place or the location, although I will be...

The History: In the late 1800s, the Imperial Navy used the Altenwalde Heath area in Prussian territory to carry out troop maneuvers. In 1912 a facility was created with a camp of accommodation barracks, a shooting lane and gun emplacements. From July 23, 1917, the Paris gun was tested here...

Željava Air Base, situated on the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina under the Plješevica mountain, near the city of Bihać, was the largest underground hangar and military air base in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), and one of the largest in Europe. For...

A week with family is always better if I can escape now and again and do some exploring so I did some homework and found there was a disused NATO base less than an hour's drive from my accommodation. Here's some history.. Allied Command Europe Highband, better known as ACE High, was a fixed...

Very little info on this one available. Appears to have been abandoned 20years ago. I have read that it was covered by its own legal jurisdiction. I thought it was going to be an easy one, but typically just at the time we turned up, there were some workers busily creating a new armoured fence...

Me and Angelo will explore the Royal Air Force Base / airfield , known as RAF Krendi Airfield, that housed its Operations, Administrative and Signals offices under ground during World War 2 situated in Qrendi Malta. The station was officially inaugurated in 1941 as a diversion airstrip for the...

We’ve been going down a bit of a rabbit hole researching Lancashire wartime history since we found ROF Standish last week. So we’ve decided to try and see what else remains in the area. This place doesn’t seem to have been done in any real detail before so thought we’d try and do it justice...

First post on the Forum. I've been working my way around the Nazi U-boat bunkers in Brittany over the last decade. Remarkable sites. When I first visited the Bordeaux site almost 10 years ago, it was in a fairly clapped out and unloved area of town. Last time I was there, 20 months ago, the...

I just watched this on iPlayer - all about WW2 activity in Wales. Towards the end, he visits the Langstone Aux OB (Jonah Patrol) near Newport. Then he visits an almost perfect (to good to be true!?) base. Any idea where this is ? Looks so good it must have been looked after over the years, or...
