    Arrow RAF Lucas Aerospace Honiley 15/05/2010

    Visited with A Man Called Martyn. Was an enjoyable day that involved half an hour hiding from pikeys in a small out building. It was used for testing and had a wind tunnel. This site had lots of wildlife and its own pools of water hidden around the site within dense foilage. As MArtyn pointed out, getting to this place is like being in the jungle and you will leave with lots of bramble scars on your legs.

    It was my first explore since Paris and you've no idea how good it felt to go back into the ruins once more. I seriously do miss it when I've been away for some time.







    Wind Tunnel.


    Mrs Warman...the canteen couldn't function without her.


    One of the pools that this site boasts...this one had its own bridge.






    Looked neither healthy or safe with all that mould.




    Check the retro price range! You can't buy much on those prices these days unless your diet consists of E-number rich candies that are of colours that do not appear in nature.

    Thats pretty cool! Good stuff Dystopia
    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.

    It's bricked up.
