RAF Upper Heyford was a Royal Air Force station located 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Bicester near the village of Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, England. In the Second World War the airfield was used by Bomber Command. During the Cold War, Upper Heyford was one of the former RAF bases chosen to house the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC) strategic bombers on 90-day TDY deployments until 1965, from 1966 United States Air Forces In Europe (USAFE) tactical reconnaissance aircraft, and from 1970 F-111 strike aircraft.

Thank you for going to the base I was born at, I really appreciate you guys going out there and filming. Super cool to see the whole base inside and out. And matt what a great job 👏🏆 definitely have a subscriber for life here 👍
I've said it before, there aren't many folks on TH-cam putting out this quality of drone footage, nevermind it being footage of such incredible niche locations, great stuff, Matt.
nice flying matt always a pleasure to watch!
Thanks for doing this video I haven't seen this place in a long time. I used to work munitions storage (AMMO) and its nice to see all of this again.
This is really good and a fascinating insight of the place I worked at for 6 yrs,driving all those luxury’ , vehicles. Good times for me, I could get my car serviced for pittance, & got people expensive tyres seriously cheap,
Great video from the drone
An episode of Inspector Lewis is centered on the base and the protests against nuclear proliferation which occurred along Camp Road toward Lower Heyford in the early '80s. We were told to have nothing to do with the protesters. We were, after all, guests of Her Majesty. I left in January of '83. Later that year, the protests got a bit wild. In the Inspector Lewis episode, a murder suspect had... well, I won't ruin it for you. Lewis and Hathaway rush to the base to find...
Wow cool video and all the cars just sitting there
Awesome thanks, can't work out where l did my CDC training all those years ago tho.
It is amazing place RAF Upper Hayford Airfield, good choice of music to go with the excellent drone flight.
Brilliant footage, really gives a sense of the place. At 8' 45" in you show an interesting, nondescript, building with dummy windows. It's a hardened building called the Trigger Store, associated with the 'special weapons' stored. Designed to look like an ordinary building, hence the dummy windows. Would be interesting to peek inside...
At 24 minutes in the building to the left of shot is the base for the chaufuer company, Parkers European. They do a lot of Audi events like film premiers etc.
At 29 minutes in you fly over one of the hardened squadron headquarter buildings. There's one for each group of hangers, 4 or 5 in total I think, all similar layout.
Many thanks, great info. I think the way to tell false buildings which are important is the amountr of ligh ning conductors they have. For a crappy building it has bristling with lightning conductors.
Thanks for your response, that's extraordinary 💯👍
Thank's fantastic views!!!
Great drone footage Matt, it shows how immense the place is really enjoyed video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍👍👍
Outstanding footage!!! nice one Matt :)
Very nice indeed in cruise control. Thank you matte.
Thank you for the flying over my friend, that place is humongous. The boots-on-the-ground videos are awesome, but it is cool to have the bird's eye view also.
It's nice to see that side of the base . only get up to drak furniture now and again, often seen TVP doing their driver training on the runway, also have been told they do some breaching training on one of the old buildings. I'm surprised you didn't visit tower 13 that is surposted to be haunted. Top vid keep it up
A,ways fab to watch Matt. Thank you. ...
Just got round to watching this superb work as always dude lovely music and indeed it does show the huge scale of this place and how sad it is to see it like this i would have loved to see it in its heyday with aircraft on the move looked like a great explore with a lot more to see in other areas of the site.
The place is huge, nice flying matt
Hi Matt great drone footage on the whole area 👍😊
What drone do you use? I bought a Mavic 2 Pro around Christmas but have not had the chance yet alone take some amazing video like this!
Mavic pro... ive got mavic 2 but dont like to risk flying it in winds this high...
Great stuff sir x
My vid hopefully will be uploaded of the floods in Shrewsbury , can’t fly I Shawbury too close to the raf base but agn great footage Matt x
Awesome flying. I live in upper Heyford and fly my mavic air around the same buildings. What FPV gear are you using and also what it sat on top of your mavic. I saw you landed it in your hand and something was on it. Very curious.
Keep up the great work. I love watching all that you do. Very interesting.
22:10 Main entrance to the Bomb Dump.
Great footage Matt, as per usual. Part was used in the sci fi film Annihilation. The group "slept" in the large observation tower.
Ever get into the North Wales area ???
ive only driven through north wales nd visited portmerion.
Having a drone proves one other fact ! someone pays the grass cutters to keep it tidy just incase we need it ,nothing overgrown. anyway great video.
Would love to know the title of the music used on this video Matt, as always your footage is brill. ..
Found out it’s PC 111
It was PC 111
Please open the airbase again !
Looks like that Green watch tower has bullet resistant glass being its all clouded up like that
According to Wikipedia RAF Upper Heyford was first built in 1918 and bomber crews were trained there in 1945 but if you look at Google Earth Historical Imagery for 1945 - There's nothing there except fields - One of them must be wrong??
Google earth = wrong probably
What was all the cars doing parked up on the runway
Automotive storage facility for new and used cars. There is also a car auction site within the grounds.
Same towers as Bentwaters base where they also kept nuclear weapons for the cold War.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Any chance of the more gripping content like corsham
Oh yes! Still waiting on part 3 of Milford Haven 😉👍🏻
why is it full off cars??
Where the usaf kept the nuclear bombs that they never ended up using in the Korean war.
Those barrel shaped buildings are HAZ ops.
That bloke from "Aint half hot mum" did a military training film about them search: Ad7rkB_GE6Y
