Report - RAF Upwood, Cambridgeshire - March '15

[Punk]

This has been on my hitlist for a while, end of a great day out with Frizman and The Wombat.

Built and commissioned in 1917 for the Royal Flying Corps. Decommissioned from 1919 to 1936 when it was reopened by the new Royal Air Force(RAF). In 1981 the RAF handed over to the United States Air Force(USAF), who used it until 2012. Since then it has gone down hill with kids vandalising it. It is used for airsoft on alternate Saturdays.
