Wonderful video but very sad to see the buildings in such a state of decay. It would be great to see all the old airfields of England like this one put back the way they were during wartime. Places like this are a National treasure in my eyes.
@The58stupot Thanks for the comment. I think that these airfields should be preserved, but unfortunately, more & more are disappearing under housing and industrial estates.
One point though, If you visit, make sure to ask permission to view these buildings as they are all on private property. Happy airfield exploration : )
It's sad to see these buildings, and I say so on every video. It's a shame the majority don't get used.
There's a market/crafts village in Malta I went to when I was there set up on an old RAF station in a village called Ta'Qali. The buildings remind me of that in this video. All the old living quarters. It's quite an interesting island full of history. If you've never been I'd advise it.
Great vid of a great site. Oh, it`s Nissen and not Nissan as in cars by the way

A tangible reminder of the effort needed to rid The world of Nazism. From this airfield and many others 67 years ago to this day.
