Great stuff I really love those WW2 tanks especially the blue Matilda and the WW1 tank on the pallets looks odd. What about the pillboxes what were they Guard posts. I love to go round that place , thanks for that.

Very cool pics Black Shuck, Love that SAM
Known as Yarnold Sangers, loosely based on the Pickett Hamilton Fort.
Cheers Al, it was a very enoyable explore.
That's a strange looking hanger in shot 5. Are the later shots taken from inside it?
What a day we had Shucky still can't get my head around it. I'm sorting out my pics tomorrow.
@Borntobemild: the interior shots were taken in a similar hangar. These were designed to house the jets that carried the nuclear missiles and had blast vents at the back of the hangar from which plumes of blue flame were seen billowing out - you can see the blast doors open in Shucky's last pic. Apparently the hangars were resistant to nuclear and chemical attack and could house not just aircraft but also the entire crew needed to keep the aircraft operational. A fascinating location.

Thats a Hardened Aircraft Shelter in shot 5 BTBM - built to take a hit from a conventional air dropped bomb. Often found on cold war airfields in the UK. Many are still in use at place like Lakenheath and Marham etc.
Like the Rapier missiles Black S.

Thanks for the info captain
Cool report, nice one for posting.
Love that searchlight! Did the Yarnold Sangers move like the Picket Hamilton, or was it static?

Have you got any more pics of this?
It looks like a WW1 tank.
Is it a replica / mock up or a real one? Would be a very rare and valuable find if it's real!
I'm sure that a real one would have crushed those pallets it's sat on so I'm guessing it's a wooden replica?
It's a replica - our guide told us that he thought it had used as part of a filmset - you can still see the pyrotechnic tubes inside the body.
I love that - thanks you
They are static GZ
That watch tower with the searchlight reminded me of something on the Berlin Wall
They were very cool, looked like sewer pipe connected together.
