Report - R.A.F Chelveston December 2023

[The Young One]

History
Royal Air Force Chelveston or more simply RAF Chelveston is a former Royal Air Force station located east of Wellingborough, near the village of Chelveston in Northamptonshire, England. During the Second World War the airfield was occupied by both the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces. It was given the USAAF designation Station 105. It closed in 1962 and has been abandoned ever-increasing. Today there is only one original building standing and is a bit of a trek to get to.

I remember getting a call out, to replace a Land Rover windscreen there back in the mid eighties. Security directed me towards said vehicle parked in the middle of a field, next to what I assume was an old demolished runway. Covered in pigeon sh1t and cobwebs. Of course my escort van got stuck in the mud, and required a tow out from a tractor. Note to the MOD, we dont all drive 4x4s or tanks.
