Report - HMS Wildfire, Gillingham - April 2018

[Jorwal]

As if someone didnt consume all of their beer. Amateurs.

Gutted i missed the do :-(

They also bought coors, might aswell have got a 2 litre bottle of buxton

And I’m not a part of the urb3cks elite & wasn’t aware of it

Yeah I was only up the King Charles at another do that I had to attend. Was going to swing by but knew it was near impossible to get hold of anyone to open up.
Yeah I thought about asking them how many 1980s naval trainees they had contacted!

Ah American beer, i think they just down a few normal beers then piss into a bottle.

Pretty sure it’d have been left open, no way of locking yourself in from the inside looking at it

And that wouldn’t shock me at all, bud light is another good example of pissy beer

Can't believe there was beer left over!

Nice report, you've covered it well.

Cheers, it’s not even half the pictures but it’s too long as it is

People were walking out with whatever they could find, including one of the Elsens!!

That Elsen was missing long before the recent opening of the place. If you think about it, instead of the place being open and more people having a chance to see it, you've rather selfishly now prevented that in the name of 'preserving' the place which actually ends up having the opposite effect because it'll now just sit there rotting away, they'll never ever do anything with the place. Bravo.

Great exploration and great photos.

 

[Jimmy]

Covered it well, I don't remember half of those areas

In my defence at the time I didn't know the guy I was talking to was part of the heritage group

I did see loads taking stuff out Monday but I can't fault you on your comment mate and you are right. But at the other end of the scale it would probably be stripped bare and then torched eventually then there would of been nothing left to see. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Cheers @Jimmy & @mikecawood

Nicely done, covered this well. Well lite, in spite of everything light wise and you really shows the place off.
Kicking myself over this one. I heard it was open bank holiday Monday via another urbexer, I had plans for the following few days, so completely missed my chance. God damn it.

If I’m honest I think it’ll be doable again much sooner than this time
