Rivenhall Airfield, (later Marconi), Essex -PART 1

Had an hour to spare, so popped over to check out the cluster of buildings that I missed from my previous visit.
Was amazed at how many Nissan Huts there were -about 6 in total, plus some outbuildings, and what looked like some sort of a Command Centre! :)
All these buildings are hidden within a small coppice.

Part 2 to follow shortly :)
 
Nice one! I love the level of natural degredation in the Nissen Huts. Also love the handle detail shot! Weird signage! Nice one! :mrgreen:
 
I was just sat here waiting patiently for part 2 to follow when you left the forum Lb. :lol:
So I'll make a comment now! ;)
I loved seeing the inside of the Nissen Huts. As Urban X said, the way they're just decaying naturally is great.
:confused: :confused: :confused: Indeed! Don't like the look of those signs at all!

Cheers for that, m'dear. :)

So, that's about it. Would love to see some old "back-in-the-day" pics of this place :) Thanks again for your kind comments!

Lb:cool:
 
Wow, that looks like a fascinating explore! Was there anything to read in the marconi books? I'm addicted to reading stuff i find in buildings! :mrgreen:

Nope, nothing in the ones I found. Know what ya mean about the reading thing -it gives a way of looking back into the past, when such places weren't abandoned. Ta for your interest :)

Lb:cool:
 
Brilliant, Lb...absolutely brilliant. I was only thinking a couple of weeks ago that we haven't had any military sites for a while, then suddenly loads of airfields and other good stuff...and now this one from your good self. The cherry on top! :mrgreen:
Those huts are great...really loving that old fuse box and the door handle, detail-wise. The Marconi stuff is another bonus.
Are those shower heads, btw, or light fittings, do you know?
Cheers m'dear. Well nice! :)
