After visiting RAF Newton to see it for my last time as demo/ building has started i thought i would have a look at the bombstores and training area on the other side of the base.
Visited a few weeks ago.
1st an update on the main Newton site....cinema etc has now gone and houses stand where they were.....still quite a bit left though so if you have never been you had better be quick! (some of the site is still used as an industrial estate but this is going too- the only bits being kept are the hangers)
Guardhouse- now with sales office opposite :mad:

The doors are painted on but the hinges and locks are real :confused:
