would be great to hear from anyone who worked there or if anyone has any pictures of what went on here, as the last traces of aviation are now gone from the site (all bar the rather patronising road names).
took some piccies of what was the ‘new site’ a couple of years ago just before the buldozers cleared that too….. hard to beleive there were once vulcans, hunters, argosies etc operating here…. 😮

Just search “RAF Bitteswell” on Google – loads of info there.

great pic of a sad subject… thanks for the quick reply! here are the pics i took after nosing around there in about 2000 i think… there were still red arrows stickers on the windows of the hangars… This was called the ‘new site’ as it was built in the 50’s (after the ‘old site’…. ! )
the hangars were being used as storage for what looked like soft drinks. not vulcans or hunters. this, like the TSR-2 makes me sad. oh well. thats ‘progress’ i guess…
