Kicked off my new year of exploring with a trip to RAF Upper Heyford. Waking up to persistent heavy rain in the morning wasn't a great start but me, True British Metal, his friend Hazel (who was as mad as a box of frogs!) and my friend Scott set off anyway. Despite initial concerns about a large number of cars parked outside the gym (planning meeting?) and quickly establishing the Skyking centre was sealed tight, our first port of call was the school side and surrounding buildings. The history of the site has been covered very recently so I'll get straight on with the pics.
The next port of call was right over the other side of the site at the more modern barrack blocks. We only checked out one (20EMS) and then had a poke around some of the other outbuildings including the Environmental Health building which looks as if it is about to fall down, and indeed has in some places. The highlights were the great murals in lots of the rooms and corridors in the barracks.
Environmental Health block (irony or what!)
As we were leaving, the fog started to roll in....
