mess

Firstly, thanks to ExplorinWithAustin&Thomas for their report from July 2025 which prompted this visit, as well as the supplementary assistance given. My boys and I are new to this and a very good introductory visit it was too, so thanks again, very much appreciated. I'm not going to blatantly...

Hi all Happy Friday! We checked this out when we saw some photos circulating recently. and thought it would be a scenic explore if nothing else :) History Located on Bellew Road at the former Princess Royal Barracks in Deepcut, the Sergeants’ Mess is a stately Edwardian style building set in...

Last used by the staff of RAF scampton a few years back before the bases closing Was quite a nice wander, and one of the best condition officers mess reminded me of wandering around RAF Newton back in the day.

A small and insignificant building, but I don't think this has ever been covered before. It was a chance find whilst looking for something else I thought was in the area, I'm always happy to check out random buildings I spot among trees on Google Maps. Once we arrived it became immediately...

RAF Oakington, Cambridgeshire, 2024 As derelict RAF bases go, this one has remined fairly forgotten. Nearly fifteen years on from disuse, the officers mess is the only noteworthy structure that remains derelict or intact. History For more information, see the Oakington History website...

1. The History The Officers' Mess and Accommodation Quarters for RAF Syerston have been separated from the rest of the base since the building of the new A46 dual carriageway in 2012. The RAF base itself was heavily connected with aviation legends such as Guy Gibson VC, Gus Walker and Bill Reid...

History The site was initially used for military aviation in 1917 during World War I, primarily as a satellite airfield for nearby Croydon Airport. It served as a training ground for pilots during the war. After World War I, RAF Kenley underwent various changes, including upgrades to its...

Visited with @Stitch & @CakeyBoi69 today. In a sorry state of disrepair.

LYDDEN SPOUT : DOVER, KENT - UK MID April 2022 **WE CLIMBED THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER ** - Bottom > Top Here are some still pics from one of our latest explores. I strongly advise no one attempts to climb this cliff face as its extremely dangerous especially in wet weather. Luckily for us...

OK so I'm not going to delve into the history of this place, because if you don't know about it then where have you been?! Plenty of reports out there, it is the most visited and documented property in Lincolnshire. Well it was. It now has fresh fencing surrounding it as well as patrols. There...

Visited on my own. I’ve been to RAF Kenley a few times as fairly local but not been to look round the officers mess. I noticed there’s another large building a bit further along the airfield , does anyone know if it’s doable? I had to leave as I felt unwell so didn’t investigate. Had a...

So this is my last post from RAF Coltishall.. this was the officers mess which is situated just out off the main area. Its a standard H block design which is common in most RAF accommodation blocks. the wings are used for an upstairs and downstairs accommodation. Similar to the sergeants mess...

Won't go into too much detail as most of it has been said in the past After seeing reports online of it being on fire twice in the past I was sceptical that there was anything worth seeing left. One of the wings has been reduced to rubble enclosed in walls, but to my surprise most of is still...

I've wanted to get into urban exploring for a while now and this seemed like a good place to whet my appetite. I popped by a couple of weeks ago for a nosey but inadequate footwear and a group of teenagers playing hide and seek meant another trip was in store. This time, I brought proper boots...

History: This building was used in both WW1 & WW2, then some time after that it was sold to OFCOM. In 2005 OFCOM stopped using the site, and it was then sold to developers. There was a fire a few years ago, and another one a few months back, but it's a conspiracy that the fire was caused by...
