My Grandfather flew with Squadron 7 out of oakington and completed 13 missions before becoming a POW in September 1941 Sgt Leslie E J Davenport. I drove to Oakington found the old wreck where the bomb dump used to be and found part of the runway and saw the perimeter track. it all seems fenced off due to the development which will take place there. I visited Londstanton church and took pictures. Were u digging in the airfield area and have you found any bullets etc yet?
Lovely to hear about your granfather. Any more info or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Will be donating a lot of finds to the future museum. This was film at the old tip. Found a few 303's but best of all is a pair of luftwaffe parachute buckles.
Yes selling dugs and that was his way of paying for his racing career! He went and stayed in hospital after the crash and got caught and found out that he was selling drugs so straight after hospital he got nearly a 30 year prison sentence for selling drugs
the car didn't veer to the right it was pulling left and wouldn't respond to the steering to the right so I gave it a bit more right hand down and ........
Horrible crash!..Here's an excerpt from an article I just read about this crash in case some are wondering about his condition after that; "Ellis was airlifted to a local hospital, and according to unconfirmed reports, was conscious and talking when medical personnel arrived. He reportedly was diagnosed with fractures to his face, neck, and back, among other injuries, and will be kept for observation, but thankfully, is expected to fully recover." Good to know he will recover.Best wishes to him.

Don't worry, drug money will pay for a new one.....oh, wait a minute...Jail time first.🤣
That was a big one. Wowie
The Guy in crash was a Drug smuggler to fund his drag racing addiction He got caught with over 3 million pounds worth of drugs
Holy smokes, I hope he's okay.
Thats brutal!
going to need a lot of meds for the pain later in life after that...
Can't believe that was 8 years ago.I was on the other side of the track.
still a 10 sec pass
Oops I don't believe he wanted to do that 😃
10.79 @29.59 mph?
Probably a stray part..
Why they put A team on straight after the crash too soon
Why is there no-one there these days?
Post Convid I expect. Back to full capacity now on FIA big meets.

It's in excellent condition, nice discovery! I always enjoy finding the old bottles at abandoned spots, but never actually dug for them!
Was lovely to find. Makes me feel in touch with those who gave so much. I was metal detecting and a brass door nob led me to this.
I race there and I've seen sooo many people crash and a quad go over the wall and the quad blew up
And he's just been done for a massive drugs raid. 29 years in prison!!
Yes selling dugs and that was his way of paying for his racing career! He went and stayed in hospital after the crash and got caught and found out that he was selling drugs so straight after hospital he got nearly a 30 year prison sentence for selling drugs
Drag racing ain't cheap!!
I was literally reading that now
Karma
Fucking Hell
I was there
he's by best friends dad
anyone know who the cameraman is on this piece of video?
i was there when that happened it was the scarcest thing i ever saw glad hes okay though
I was there and it looked as if he lost grip
and a bit of Ed Sheeran to claim it down
That door went extremely high...
Still a better time than a civic
Crashed, Survived and still finished the race. What a boss ;D
problems with superbird
the car didn't veer to the right it was pulling left and wouldn't respond to the steering to the right so I gave it a bit more right hand down and ........
I'm glad u r alive Gram, I loved ur car
I've seen that car get out of shape like that before, seemed to always veer off to the right... Hope graham gets better soon.
I was there that day as well, worst thing - he had just sold that car.
I think "shiiiit" sums it up pretty well!
lucky to survive really
How is that lucky?
Omg was at santa pod watching flame and thunder he was there walking but he said he has bought a new car already he sold his other one all crumpled up
right before the video ends they start playing sad music
F*%K these cars are well built, to walk away from that is incredible. But broken eye sockets? OUCH
Where is everybody , thought this was a big date on the calender.
I was there when the crash happened, hope you get well soon graham
