A flying visit to the now ex RAF Sculthorpe in Norfolk, just as the days light was going.

RAF Sculthorpe used to be the biggest USAFE base in Europe. Once, over 30000 people were based here and you could see every kind US aircraft that ever flew. These days, the strange US'esque housing is a "new village" which looks like the streets from the original Halloween movie and the hangers and control towers have been smashed down.

A small part of the base is still use for occasional training by the UK and the US.


Loads and loads of ex barracks are still standing, owls use them now so I suppose they are still used by flyers of some kind :thumb

Even the strange stores, kebab shop and other momg holes have now bit the dust and are cold and deserted.
