raf sculthorpe

Introduction I have always seen this small selection of buildings from the main road when visiting Sculthorpe, but stupidly have always disregarded them as empty buildings without taking a look. @Mikeymutt mentioned that he had had a look and discovered that the buildings had some nice pumping...

History RAF Sculthorpe was built between the villages of Sculthorpe (to its east) and Syderstone (to its west-north-west) as the second satellite airfield of RAF West Raynham (itself a few miles to the south), the first satellite airfield being RAF Great Massingham. Work began on Sculthorpe in...

I have made many, many visits to Sculthorpe over the years and have seen all that can be seen. Except for this one little bit which sits on land on the old airfield side. I have passed it many times knowing what it was, but wondering what lay in it, not a lot I thought at first. I decided to...

I see film has been making a massive come back, not just in this genre of photography but in every type. People are bored apparently of crisp clean digital images and like the look of film, that feel that digital does not give. I guess it’s the same with vinyl and how popular that is now, people...

Introduction This report consists of photos from two visits within the space of a few weeks back in February. I had to return to get some externals of the buildings as it started chucking it down with rain and couldn't keep the drops off the lens. The purpose of this report isn't to cover each...

Afternoon, not sure if this is worthy of a post or not but here goes. Being a local and a regular visitor to the site, I noticed on my last visit that the gate to the police building was open, and that a car was in there. Spoke to the person who was friendly and gave me permission to go and...

Managed to find this one by chance, originally we headed out to find RAF west Raynham. Unfortunately it’s all closed off now and used as industrial estate. A bloke we was speaking to pointed us to Sculthorpe. We was not disappointed. History. All I know about this is that was built in the...

This report is a re-visit of a past report. The first one being a copy and paste from Wikipedia because I was at the time, a lazy tit. This report has been written by me, with zero plagiarism. I have used multiple sources and tried to include as much information as possible. Hopefully you all...

RAF Sculthorpe is a decommissioned Ministry of Defence facility in north Norfolk. I went for an explore here today, a surreal site situated right within a housing estate entitled Wicken Green village. There were several signs saying no trespassing however, several people walking dogs so no...

I know this place has been done to death many times. But thought I would post some shots from the bomb storage area what not many do and the tower. I have been here many times, and was my first explore ever in early march 2013. I had covered the site extensively but never seen the bomb stores...

Obviously this is still an active RAF base on one side, and on the other side is an “abandoned” section filled with old barracks, the remnants of a dining hall and kitchen and so much more! There is a Facebook page dedicated to RAF sculthorpe so check that out for history! It’s a well known and...

After we got told to leave another raf base close by we ventured on to this site loads of buildings that are covered in asbestos some great long corridors whilst there we where greeted by someone doing a photoshoot with two airsoft pistols which was a bit worrying at first, but soon realised...

The Explore: It was an up early and short drive to this place. In some ways it reminds me of RAF Nocton in terms of the vastness of the site plus all of the corridors. I was blessed with nice weather so I parked up and looked for a way in. At first it looked pretty well fenced off then I found...

This will tell you everything you need to know about the place lol Theres so much about the place and i can not be arsed to type it all down TBH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Sculthorpe NOW THE PICS:

My first post on here ... so hello :) Got a chance (with permission) to visit the main airfield/control tower earlier this month with an american friend who used to work on the base, first time he'd been back for years. Upon arrival we headed straight to the control tower/fire station to start...

Heres a short report about my trip to RAF Sculthorpe. Please keep in mind writing reports are not my strong point, Im an urban explorer/photographer, not writer! How I got there, I live over an hour away from Sculthorpe, so my plan was to park in the town of 'Wicken Green' which is right next...

History: RAF Sculthorpe was built as the second satellite airfield of RAF West Raynham a few miles to the south (haven't been there for a while but it was an excellent explore a few years back!). Work begun in the spring of 1942. Much of the construction work was completed by Irish labour...

First off I have an thing about cows, I don't like them and they don't like me. There were hundreds of fucking cows between me and the control tower so I wasn't even going to try. The Accommodation block .

I popped up here to do a quick recce for a editorial shoot for my uni work, so thought I would post up what I took... Could not believe it snowed while I was there, it was damn cold, and I did not need reminding of that. It was just a flying visit as I had heard about the contractors on the...
