rivenhall

Possibly one of my favourite visits from 2023, the forgotten remains of RAF Rivenhall. This was two visits in 2022 and 2023, the one in 2023 as I was in the area with a friend new to Urbex and it made for a good first explore for them. Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force...
