none of you mention that the film Memphis Belle was shot there. I lived there just after the houses got sold off to the public. What a fantastic place. My teenage years were spent exploring the disused buildings.

Nothing left now but rubble =( All the mess buildings have gone.

My last base before I retired. Such a shame it deteriorated into such a mess. I believe it has been knocked over and tidied up as Humberside Airport now. At least it still lives after its resurrection as a 'civvie'.
