RAF Long Marston Airfield .

R.A.F Long Marston Airfield.


                                           Date:  Januray 
                                           Location: Warwickshire
                                           Abandoned or Public : Abandoned
                                           Delmoished:  Yes 

We met up with some other explorers for a day of exploring and headed to R.A.F. Long Marston airfield to check out the planes that were sitting there. I had seen these online before, so I was really excited. I was not too impressed with getting soaking wet in the rain that came after the explore. We spent a good 1 or 2 hours exploring before a guy came over and told us to leave, which we did. I found out later that the planes had been sent to France to be restored, so there is a future for the planes.


Sadly, like most things, planning permission was sent in to build 400 homes on the site, which got approved. The airfield was used in World War II for training and closed around 1954.
