Visited this as part of a 1300 mile roadtrip with Bryag and Bax_ last weekend 
I guess everyone knows the history of this iconic site...
The Silos have been posted elsewhere by others, so I thought I'd put up a few pics of the other parts of the base...
The Control Tower - sealed up tighter than a drum
The runway was once Europes longest, but has now been grubbed up
There are little signs of it left scattered about :
Sub-station kinda place still remains, though pikeys have had their way with the cabling :
Good thing I hadn't pressed this a few years back
The Fire-fighting plane was rather cool
The Command Centre was still there :
Complete with serious hatch :
Old signage still extant :
And rather odd bits and pieces :
Any ideas? These were behind this blast door :
We also found the Worlds smallest strawberries
Tasted okay though
Looking back :
