I VISITED THE OLD AIRFIELD DURING 2003 TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LEFT BUT ALL THERE WAS WAS A LITTLE PERIMETER TRACK AND VERY LITTLE RUNWAY. THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS AIRFIELD WAS DISPOSED OF WAS SHOCKING. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF WE NEEDED YET ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL ESTATE

THIS BUILDING IS AWAY FROM THE MAIN AIRFIELD LYING AS IT DOES ON MUCH HIGHER GROUND AND WAS THE MAIN COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE FOR RAF BINBROOK. IN THE FIELD OUT OF THE REAR OF THIS BUILDING USED TO BE AN ARRAY OF ANTENNAE USED FOR TRANSMITTING TO AIRCRAFT ON RAIDS OVER GERMANY. THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN DREADFULLY VANDALISED FOR BRICKS AND CONCRETE. DURING THE 1970'S THIS BUILDING WAS ALMOST UNTOUCHED. NOTE THE HUGE EXTERIOR BLAST WALLS ALMOST COMPLETELY VANDALISED AWAY

THE BATTLE HQ BUNKER CONSISTS OF THE MAIN CENTRAL TURRET SEEN HERE WITH A COMPLEX OF AROUND FOUR UNDERGROUND CHAMBERS. SOMEONE, PROBABLY THE FARMER, HAS DECIDED TO VANDALISE THIS EXAMPLE AND BLOCK OFF THE ENTRANCES TO THE TURRET AND CHAMBERS WHICH USED TO BE COMPLETELY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
