RAF Tarrant Rushton. Feb '09

[fire*fly]

We thought we'd take a trip out today & we ended up here
There is some info about it here http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/uk/raf_tarrant_rushton.htm

All the runways & the control tower have gone & there are crops being grown on the land in the middle, but there are a few bits to look at. The 1st hanger we came to was full of cows.

We found a big hanger on the other side of the airfield

& now we know where all those green goddesses hide when there are no firemen's strikes

Thank you for looking x

fire*fly, that's a brilliant find. Excellent pics and such interesting history to it...what a bonus finding the green goddesses there too.
Nice work.

I seem to remember that the green goddesses had been decommissioned.

I guess these are in private hands now.
