Trying to imagine what these places were like when alive can be quite a challenge with some of our local old fields…

A few of them stll have aviation activity on them but the new occupants are nowhere near the size of the original occupants and trying to imagine Wellingtons, Blenheims, Mitchells and the like all lined up or circuit bashing or partating in a mass launch is very difficult.

Trying to work out what some of the buildings or remains left were used for is also quite challenging. When we’ve been to a few of these “operational” sites we’ll often have a walk around and see what is left and despite our ages we still have the youthful urge to explore although not always the same youthful physique!
