Fascinating what's about when you look have you had any issues with permission accessing and filming properties like this... Thanks for sharing👍👍👍

Nice one mate.raf Folkingham

I remember walking over a penestrian rail bridge when I visited my grandfather in the 1970s and down below was a load of military trucks and equipment being refurbished. It looked just like this. :)

Ahh... Raf binbrook. The raf base my streed was named after Fun fact: All of the garths in hull are named after raf bases

Those Control Towers must have been a standard build - this one looks the same as Davidstow Moor and Dunkeswell

Who does it belong to now 🤔

Nice one pal.keep up the good work.much appreciated.

Great flyover I like power station videos thanks for sharing 😊

Which fishing lake is it?

Interesting to see the aircraft dispersal points with AR shelter accommodation for the ground crews and those pillboxes . .

Trevor, would love to get a look around the MT office alongside the MT sheds . Square brick buildings at the start -ish are Pyro stores, two compartments holding pyrotechnics such as flares. The long Nissen huts (mistakenly described as WAAF accommodation) are actually Fusing huts. That small dispersal shelter with the triangular apex are few and far between but are around at other locations.

Trevor, wombleton is still an active airfield with a number of light aircraft based there. Flying a drone over an airfield where aircraft could join and land anytime potentialy puts aircraft and pilots at risk. There is signs on the airfield advising that is active. What did you think the windsock was for on the control tower?

Great video , living in Stamford we are surrounded by old RAF bases . Theres another near Finshade on the forestry commision land ., complete with old buildings .

Another interesting video , thanks for posting .

It's been nearly 20 years since I was there and visited the surrounding pubs which the servicemen used when unable to go further afield. The local said that at the end of the war a lot of stuff was dumped in the nearby water course.

could it be a air raid shelter in first bit?

The two open top structures at the end of the video are simple blast protection shelters in case of bombing.

I think these disused places should be better managed, they are part of our history after all.

thank you , from wigan , lancs

My last (final) posting. ATC Supervisor. I retired in 1982. It is sad to see what was once a meticulously maintained RAF Base (5 & 11 Sqdns, Lightnings) turned into a shambles of a waste dump.

ABCT total load of self-serving bollox who pollute these special places

Hi Trevor - I work for the Prax Group please can we share your drone footage?

The Watch Office (Control Tower) is in pretty good condition considering its age. Most have had their windows knocked out. Those earth mounds around some of the brick buildings are blast walls, which says those buildings held bombs, pyrotechnics, ammunition or bomb fuses. If the building accidentally blew up, the blast walls would help stop the blast from destroying everything close by by deflecting the explosion upwards. Very interesting video.

Great video Trev stunning footage liked &subscribed mate 👍

Thanks for the tour of strubby my son works on the go-cart track is it ok to send the video to him thanks.

Yay…. 5 Squadron rules!!! Frangas non Flectas!

When Ludford first opened, the aircrews nicknamed it "Mudford Magna" due to the poor drainage and unfinished status. Throughout the war, things didn't improve much, it was always a wet site.

I'm not sure about Binbrook, but part of RAF Faldingworth is still used by Rolls Royce and the RAF for jet engine testing and repairs. There was also high security storage for nuclear bombs and trigger fuses. It was a sad day when the BAC Lightenings left Lincolnshire forever.

Those concrete block 'pillbox' type buildings were likely post WW2 sentry posts for airfield security to shelter in. Nice drone work. Poor wifey looks a bit bored though. 😂

Fancy leaving the rifle butts still standing in the middle of prime agricultural land. I’m glad they did. They look very impressive, especially from the air. You could almost misidentify them as some old Roman ruins. 👍

Usually buildings with blast walls, housed ammunition. They definitely weren’t bombproof, but they would contain small cartridges going off.

Excellent video Trevor! I spent many hours as a kid with my dad flying my model aircraft there, and in later years teaching my then girlfriend to drive. RAF Metheringham is said to be haunted by the spirit of Katherine Bystock, who was a local girl killed on the back of her RAF boyfriend's motorbike when they crashed on the eastern perimeter track after skidding on some loose gravel. Thumbs up from a fellow DJI Mini 2 and Mavic Air 2 pilot.

10:35 This was the fire and ambulance station.

Having been up and down the A1 since the late 70's, and a keen fan of RAF history, I always looked out for Woolfox & still do to this day. There is actually quite a lot left really, very enjoyable to see this video with some of the original foundations and the control tower. For those who saw it when the missiles were there I do envy you. I am always struck by the original concrete fence posts and slowly degrading base fencing next to the A1, given it has probably been there since the 50's or earlier it has held up really well. None of these things were built to last and thrown together at the time in haste.

We used to take the motor bikes on the runway back in the 70s.

Utilizing a drone and gimbal camera to explore the former RAF Fulbeck, the expedition delves into the historical site with a fresh perspective. Have a great day💖👍TFS

Great video but turn the music off🤔

i played on these as a kid , my family house was just off the drone shot ahah, we found a ww2 RAF cap badge in our garden

i know where fullbeck is as i went to a school out in that area. i did not know about the airfield or there being remains of it still there.

Thank you, looking forward to this.

A new generation that doesn’t understand how war affects everyone is slowly trying to peel back layers of WWII that don’t need to be peeled. They have no concept of what the Greatest Generation experienced nor do they care.

I can recall as a young lad in the 60's a row of Bloodhound missiles along the edge of the roadside at Woolfox.

Was stationed at RAF Binbrook 1975 /6.. was a Painter and Finisher in 1975 we painted the first Lighting in camaflauge colours ...not a lot health and safety in those days....😀

Take a look at the TH-cam clip of former RAF Polebrook.. At 2mins you see what i mean about the Thor missile launch sites

Looking at your drone footage there are no remnants of the original Thor launching site. If you look at other Thor Missile sites such as RAF's North Luffenham, Feltwell, Shepherds Grove you will see the distinct shapes of the launching sites. RAF Barnham was a Thor servicing site in Suffolk

The storage area @ 5mins used to store Firestreak and Red Top missiles for the lightnings

I also have a Mavic Mini 2 as well as the Mavic Air 2. I've flown my Mini 2 both in the UK, and in Europe (Poland) so had to do the EASA flight test. DJI products may not be the cheapest around, but they certainly are damned good quality. I also use the RM 500 Smart Controller with both my drones, that really IS a game changer! I use Drone Harmony for autonomous flights and flight planning.

Nice footage my friend. That is the exact place I was planning to take my newly acquired DJI Mavic Air 2 for it's first test flight. I live about 10 minutes away.
