Hi all,

Had this explore kicking around on my camera for a wee while now so thought i'd get it done:thumb
Other than being chased by a big black rabid dog up a farmers drive, access was fairly straight forward:jester
This was only my second ever explore on my own so my camera skills are a little shaky still - Couple that with a rubbish camera(Now rectified;-))

Some piccies.

Nice location.. the "bombs" and various aircraft shells (are the Harrier and the Whirlwind still there? I know the "Soviet" Hunter has gone to a better life) are explained by the sites recent (and I thought ongoing?) use for EOD training.

A quick google will turn up lat/long for all the wrecks.. but don't waste time searching for a "MiG" that was't there - it was a Hunter in with a dubious paint job and it's now been moved!

VERY nearly got busted a few times this visit but i was more than happy with the proceeds:) Also, no more of the plane as M.O.D builders WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE:O

That is Class!:thumb I think the missile looks like a CW bloodhound. The Anti-aircraft gun is ex Soviet, possibly from the 1st Gulf War.

Thanks mate;) seriously, anybody wanting to do this one let me know, it's screaming out to be pictured with a decent lens or two, my little compact just don't cut it i'm afraid. That said, i'd not want to be legging it across M.O.D land with a zoom and a Tripod HAHAHA!

Cheers for the kind words guys;) it was so much fun ducking and diving. I said to my mate, 'I wish we could just get permission to view all this without the feeling i'm going to shit myself at every noise ,or the rumble of an engine' he said 'Really?, i think it makes it all the more fun' I make him right. Funny thing is though, he was the one who kept on saying we should leave HAHAHAHA, Knob:D
