Right on my door step. There is Watton RAF witch is now owned by my mate. Sadly most under ground storage facilities are flooded. Most entrances to the underground tunnels all concreted off, but. There is still the training range, bomb storage bunkers and semi underground fuel bunker. Couple of ROC posts local with decent artefacts dating 1950s ( magazines, newspapers ) worth checking out! All the best
Great explore folks....... a Golden Gem or three there........... you did make me chuckle though Ian... the guys shouting get down as Farmer drives by.... two in full camo... Ian in the middle wearing bright blue.... lol
That control tower could be made into a great house and home. Id love to tackle a project like that. Cheers for taking us along guys, very interesting.
👏🏻👏🏻Another great and very interesting explore! I love the former RAF/ USAF ww2 airfield sites, every building tells a story. The old control tower was brilliant! It’s amazing how the trees have grown around the site and that balcony would have had a clear view of the runways . No trees back then😂 👍🏻
I was chatting with my mum (97) I was telling about all the US airbases dotted around east anglia , she recalled the Battle of Britain (that story never gets old) , we were at the "Squadron" Rosie Lee cafe at North Weald
If you get the time get some big think wax candles and from the bottom of the candle rub the wax into your trousers. Heat it up using a hair dryer or an iron with a towel underneath and that will stop your trousers getting soaked. I've done it with my trainers but using a hair dryer and it works
Wow, so many buildings to explore. Just amazing folks. A lovely bit of lockdown escape. You guys are brilliant. Looking forward to the next video as always. 👍x
You guys should come up to Edinburgh sometime. We have a small island on the forth river that was used for WW2 anti aircraft batteries. Some of the brick buildings still remain.
Oh . I forgot to mention. You could even travel on foot from crammond beach to the island on foot when the tide is low enough. A party of people did a rave party on there but forgot to return in time as the tide rose again and had to be rescued by coast guard. I do reccomend caution when exploring these places.
It's kind of sad to see such a huge part of history just left to rot away. With so few of the men left from that era it would be nice to have some of their past life preserved.
This is pretty local to me. Never realised it was there but through the power of watching this video and google maps I've found this location. Will definitely go and check it out
Given that it's not totally trashed that building should be preserved. Maybe it's a site unknown for most of the locals that are historically interested. Even if it's a bit "off" it's also a good thing. Ham radio operators likes places that are away from other buildings due to lack of electrical noise.
Captions about buildings very good.Strange BHQ.Looked like escape shaft inside observation tower rather than beside it.The odd pillbox had Turnbull mg mountings on loopholes.Unusual entrance.
Hay you should put black electrical tape over the red light on the gopro Thais what i do when im video taping people when they dont want to be video taped. I ask them if they see a red light that say no then i tell them its not recording then
I have some wet wether work gear i bought for metal detecting it's called scruff's the trousers were about £50 i highly recommend their gear 👍keep up the good work cheers
It annoys me how people seem too enjoy saying. How could you have missed this? How didn’t you see that? We all learn by experience. At least these chaps are getting out their and documenting this amazing history, before it turns to rubble. Make your observations more positive I say. Thanks IKS
a great video again folks I found recently a command and control bunker on a derelict Cornish airfield will be doing a video of it shortly but unfortunately the lower level is flooded
Have you explored raf Yatesbury in wilts that a well worth look still got the squash court and some aircraft hanger. It was use as a radio training school
Great videos, my channel is a military collectables one, and I have a number of ex military ww1 and ww2 binoculars, they are quite cheap to purchase and when I'm watching your vids I can't help thinking that a pair of old military binos would complement your military feel, but also be good for keeping watch for security and other things you want to look at that are too far off...just a thought cheers☺☺☺☺
I dont know where you guys are based but you should defo check out RAF Holwell in Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire. A decoy factory built to protect the real Dehaviland works. Its been done before but think you boys could do it better.
good video most of the shelters and airfields have been knocked down or developed over ...you shouldnt avoid the farmer if its his land he might know of some other hidden treasures .
Gents have you any knowledge on Billinge Beacon it’s just over road from me and I’m thinking of having a look later there’s some major anomaly’s regards to building near by there is also a tunnel that is still used by rail system any info ?
IKS Exploration ok thanks for reply some really interesting stuff this way as am sure you are aware of lots of train lines now masked by roads lots of MOD / BEA / UKEA sites now gone and re purposed o appreciate your busy with your channel and it’s really good to see too. But I’d love to be able to get in touch and show you the area if possible thanks 😊
Yes I've not yet to visit a site that does not have the engravings, as I have not visited the site in your video I was intrigued if you noticed them or not. On the stone lintels above each room like observation room, messagers room etc will be the engravings. If they have not been covered in graffiti then your in for a right treat. I'm in essex Ian
Yes buddy got the beanie hat camo jacket and camo set off stealth tactical website www.stealthtactical.co.uk cheapest place I could find with free UK delivery saved about £20 so was quite chuffed to be fair 😁

Dude!!!! You walked right by the paratroopers bicycle!!!! The curvy framed BSA is an original ww2 paratroopers bike!!!!
Great explore folks....... a Golden Gem or three there........... you did make me chuckle though Ian... the guys shouting get down as Farmer drives by.... two in full camo... Ian in the middle wearing bright blue.... lol
Lol

had the same idea 🤜🏽

Really enjoyed that folks. Appreciate the lengths you go to, and the wet socks you go through to bring us these great videos.
Stay safe chaps.
The control tower is crying out for a Grand Designs makeover, the building looks dry and structurally sound... would make for a cracking home.
11:25 is the pyrotechnics locker for the smoke and flares used for low visibility landings.
I was chatting with my mum (97) I was telling about all the US airbases dotted around east anglia , she recalled the Battle of Britain (that story never gets old) , we were at the "Squadron" Rosie Lee cafe at North Weald
Thanks for crawling in the tight places for your fans.
That battle HQ was good to see there's a great one near to me in the New Forest you should LOOK at. Thank you for the video. :)

The 2nd floor walkway always faces the runway. That is where they step out onto with binoculars
Love your videos. Great trip to this old airfield. Thanks for sharing! But dude, really? Drinking salsa? I think I need a beer now! ;) :)
Lol
Wow, so many buildings to explore. Just amazing folks. A lovely bit of lockdown escape. You guys are brilliant. Looking forward to the next video as always. 👍x
Fantastic rare find I wish all these remaining ww2 structures would have preservation orders put on them.
You made i laff quote"should have a sign saying fragile roof" my brain went what roof there isnt a roof 😂😂 never stop what you do
I think that the sums on the control tower walls are post war, probably farmworkers counting bales stored there for example
Thanks IKS exploration for another great explore are you going back with a ladder
Who knows folks
@@IKS-Exploration you should explore predanack airfield in Cornwall
You guys should come up to Edinburgh sometime. We have a small island on the forth river that was used for WW2 anti aircraft batteries. Some of the brick buildings still remain.

What a place so much still there! Great video
Yet another great video guys with some very interesting well preserved finds thanks for sharing your adventure. Stay safe and see you in the next.
😂Someone get the lad a torch 🔦 👍🏼🇬🇬
It's kind of sad to see such a huge part of history just left to rot away. With so few of the men left from that era it would be nice to have some of their past life preserved.
Lovely video. Great location. Well done IKS 😎
Best explore so far brilliant.
Lots to see there. Thanks for the tour guys!
The 202 air tower we used to play in is being turned into a dwelling. Wigsley Lincolnshire.
👍👍👍
Loving your channel, amazing how much can change in 70+ years
As always brilliant, interesting and fun. You guys need to come up the Midlands sometime..
This is pretty local to me. Never realised it was there but through the power of watching this video and google maps I've found this location. Will definitely go and check it out
so close to 100k, can't wait.
Looks great place to look around,that bhq looked great inside

Awesome job! You guys are great! 😬👍

Hi guys great video it’s was amazing getting into the bunker style that was hard to get into and some golden gems inside which was fantastic to see 👍😊
12:26 Nice little bird nest with some feathers.
That brick with the cloth wrapped around it in the command bunker ..!!....I so wanted to pull it and see if there was something stashed behind it.!
Hi, some very cool buildings left still. The farmer could be making some money from those old area's by turning them into stables to rent out. x
Hay you should put black electrical tape over the red light on the gopro Thais what i do when im video taping people when they dont want to be video taped. I ask them if they see a red light that say no then i tell them its not recording then
Nice one, drinking salsa from a jar!!! Proper job mate!!!
Watching now cheers guys
Another amazing video. Thank you. Do you ever keep anything you find? Like the broken cup from 1943?
I have some wet wether work gear i bought for metal detecting it's called scruff's the trousers were about £50 i highly recommend their gear 👍keep up the good work cheers
another great video thanks Ian
15:26 strange how there are no electrical or light fittings about, or any form of heating. Almost like a decoy building.
That was great thanks for sharing
It annoys me how people seem too enjoy saying. How could you have missed this? How didn’t you see that? We all learn by experience. At least these chaps are getting out their and documenting this amazing history, before it turns to rubble. Make your observations more positive I say. Thanks IKS
Interesting explore Lads. The tower is in amazing condition. I would of thought you would have looked for relics a bit more in the battle HQ tho.
a great video again folks I found recently a command and control bunker on a derelict Cornish airfield will be doing a video of it shortly but unfortunately the lower level is flooded
what a gem....
Some very interesting finds.
Have you explored raf Yatesbury in wilts that a well worth look still got the squash court and some aircraft hanger. It was use as a radio training school

Really cool video and info guys
Seriously, you guys need your own TV series. That's probably been said before, but it'd be like Top Gear without the egos!
I dont know where you guys are based but you should defo check out RAF Holwell in Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire. A decoy factory built to protect the real Dehaviland works. Its been done before but think you boys could do it better.
13.20 says 120 Langford? Langford was a us airfield in Northern Ireland
19.42. The last word is 'asbestos'.
good video most of the shelters and airfields have been knocked down
or developed over ...you shouldnt avoid the farmer if its his land
he might know of some other hidden treasures .
2 lightbulbs in a light mean airport ground lighting main globe with failsafe globe.
I'm really surprised more wildlife aren't making use of those buildings as shelters .
Canister with 4 holes in top are bomb carrying canisters.
use a lens hood to stop your lens getting wet
There is an raf base in wgc no one has explored and is due for re development soon
Great video
That amo crate is what blanks come in . It's not old.
Gents have you any knowledge on Billinge Beacon it’s just over road from me and I’m thinking of having a look later there’s some major anomaly’s regards to building near by there is also a tunnel that is still used by rail system any info ?
Not looked into that yet folk

All battle hq i have visited have had room names chiseled above the rooms in the stone. Did you notice these?
Not seen that before where you from ?
Yes I've not yet to visit a site that does not have the engravings, as I have not visited the site in your video I was intrigued if you noticed them or not. On the stone lintels above each room like observation room, messagers room etc will be the engravings. If they have not been covered in graffiti then your in for a right treat.
I'm in essex Ian
Ian straight up drinks salsa
Lovely folks :)
What a shame our morden history left to rot after the sacrifice of others, great find
14:45 birdie
At 6:50 why didn't u keep going into the tunnel. Locked door? Or caved in
That was it folk only a small shelter :)
Why no torch ? great findings gents
They not aloud one lol
RAF bodney 4.5 miles west of watton
Hey folks! 😊
good video
The bike in the air raid shelter was a rare paratroopers lightweight, worth a fortune these days.
@Silently Sceptical aye, if I was in the area it would definitely be 'saved'
its an old control tower
Hi Folk!!!
