long marston

Hi all, I visited last summer and it was one of my more enjoyable explores with quite a few features which of course are either racing or airfield related. Access was a piece of piss, I hear there's a very angry man who lives on site but I guess I got lucky. The sun was setting making for...

The Explore : Visited the site in Jan 2020 - This has been on my list for some long time and i know its been done to death too - Visited the site with @WilsonTheHuman and none members - After seeing online that the planes have been removed - we went searching for them - Didn't take long to...

27th November 2019 I went with my brother and a friend to Long Marston Airfield near Stratford Upon Avon, a RAF base that was in use between 1941 and 1954. A great explore since it has been my first one in a while. Easy to get in to at the entrance there was a metal fence we walked around then a...

History; During the war years Long Marston Airfield became the home to hundreds of Royal Air Force servicemen who operated the RAF’s Group of Ferry Commands in 1941. The RAF also provided training flights and missions to Gibraltar and the Middle East before the mighty twin engine Wellington...

I realise that this has been covered on the forums before, but thought I'd post recent pics. I had to head over Stratford way to get some art framed and thought I'd pay the Airfield a visit. As you can see from these photographs the vegetation has really taken a hold of the Shackleton now, and...

History The airfield was previously RAF Long Marston a Royal Air Force station used for training during the Second World War. It operated from the year 1941 to 1954. The station closed during 1954. Our Visit It had been a while since we ventured out far to an urbex so we decided to make the...

  This Avro Shackleton is one of three aircrafts situated at Long Marston. After the small aviation museum had sadly closed its doors, the Shackleton MR3, serial number WR985, was among a group of larger airframes that were not relocated, and is still sat at the old World War 2 airfield today...

This was a visit i did on my way back from the nuba site - was told about this place about a year ago and wanted to strike it off my list as i have been told its due to be stricken off the face of the earth next year to make way for a massive housing estate. Met a lovley guy called mark who told...

i am new to this site so please be nice ;) Ive been going to this airfield for the last 12months to see the Dragracing and finally last month i got round to exploring the planes ive admired on every visit. The access is free to all 3 planes in that there are no security guards and fences...

Visted with the invisableman and a non member. I burst my bubble here solo when i first started this crack so it was good to get back at the start of the new year to see whats changed. New security hut on entrance to the airfield, which is manned from 18:00pm - 06:00am. The field that...

Visited with Mookie and Treads. Big thanks to Treads for the transport and putting up with me :). Sorry this report is a bit late but I've been pretty busy so haven't got round to putting this up. We'd come here after deciding to perspone attempting a nearby but much harder site (watch this...

Mookster has already posted on the Three Amigos trip round Gloucestershire and neighbouring counties. I had the aircraft graveyard on my to-do list for a while and finding ourselves in the vincity we pointed the tread-mobile at this spot. There were more aircraft here at one time, and it's all a...

Visited as part of mine and the two usual buggers (TBM and Treadstone) day out to the Cotswolds - 4 sites were visited and one small one was stumbled upon (not gonna post it here as it'll be binned!) 3 successes and 2 failures but hey ho. I wish I'd visited when there were more than the 3...

A trip to the so called 'The Jet Aviation Preservation Group' They don't seem to be preserving much too well in my eyes. I'm gutted that unfortunately i never managed to get here before most of the planes disappeared. However, what is still there is still amazing - amplified even more so by the...
