It's such a shame there's nothing left. I did my training there in 1991.

Very cool find! Hope yall doin good!

Fancy intro, Jay. 😄

Thank you for showing this my Uncle Frank Walter was station there. He was in 101 squadron flying in Lancaster. He was shot down over France 4th May 1944.

𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞 𝗢𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗔𝗙 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗞𝗜𝗥𝗞𝗕𝗬 - 𝟭𝟮 𝗡𝗢𝗩 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗵 of the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre is to hold a presentation entitled '𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗔𝗙 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝗸𝗯𝘆' at the Town Hall, Main Road, New Bolingbroke, Lincs PE22 7LD on 𝗧𝘂𝗲 𝟭𝟮𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 from 7:30pm-9:15pm. Admission is just £4 on the door. The Town Hall is a white building with three large arched windows facing the Main Road (B1183 'Seven Mile Straight') and is signposted from it.

I recall air shows there during the 1980s as an infant

I visited before the runway was ripped up twenty odd years ago. The QRA shed was intact and secure, looking through the windows of the staff room, armchairs, table, cooker all in tact. Next to it the runway lighting cabin complete with switch and control gear, cables etc, the runway lighting itself had been removed. Across the airfield one of the hanger workshops was full of batteries and charging equipment, tools etc as if left yesterday. The worst place was the Officers Mess where loads of roof tiles had been stolen and sash window frames wrecked to steal the lead counter weights. Wrecked inside. The H blocks were fenced off but looked OK. Obviously they are selected thieves and hooligans in that part of Lincolnshire!

No squadies ever lived in there. It was Airmen. I was one of them.

How do you get in

Did my 6 weeks basic here in 1975. Happy days !

Dock open days when I was a kid we're brilliant sad to see it so run down.fishing heritage centre should of been built there.nice to see some renovation going on though

Pretty coastline👏

Just shy of a month before mine comes in super cool bro glad you're still out doing some fun stuff

nice shots Jay, thanks..john

Adventures. like-amazing dji!have a good day- ))

Brings back memories work there in the 70s

Did my basic training there in September 1975

Hello there! Good to see you. Excellent video, as always. Your country has the best old buildings to explore. Say hello to Siobhan for me. Ive missed seeing you guys, but Im back.

Sad to see it destroyed.

where is this located?

My Uncle Served here as a Mid Upper Gunner in a Lancaster 103SQN July-Oct 1944.

Do you know the history behind this cottage?

its being renovated i think and houses built alongside not too many I hope!

Visiting Holmpton next month, hoping this will be open, its amazing!

My dad served as a flight engineer at Strubby during WW2. I visited a few years back. ❤

where is this

Thanks for filming this... I worked here for a short while - great team of Radio Officers here. Shame to see the place like this.. I could visualise the kit and staff in the main control room... happy memories.

I was there in June '84 for basic training. Good times. Then moved onto the Rafreg depot at Catterick. An entirely different experience! 😂

Memories, was at Binbrook in the 60,s . Tannoys in the blocks for the QRA alarms at 03.00 !!!

A lovely filming. Non intrusive.Emotional. Augusta Ada Lovelace nee Byron was correct when she visited the restored estate 16 months or so before her death, and wrote to her mother that no Byron could have afforded the work that Lord Byron's friend did--a labor of love and tribute to George Gordon Byron. Thank you for a sensitive and beautiful tour.

Here in May 1982. Never fails to amaze me how we excel at destruction in this country now, but fail consistently to create build or inspire any more. The only thing we can build is ugliness and mediocrity! Honour is something that is never considered any more so the idea of a field of honour must seem baffling! Once, Swinderby was a place where young men who loved and cared for the next generation of Englishmen made their last contact with this once beloved island before they flew to their deaths! My Grand Father was lucky, he survived! His sense of betrayal by the subsequent generation that came along was obvious though! I wrote this on you tube once before about my Grand Father, and some body replied “Well, your Grand father was a racist then!” What ever, what ever!!! Ha!

300 years! next year! God bless the Grand Lodge of Ireland

I was there last week and climbed in for a look 👍🏼

My late father served on 142 squadron flying from RAF Grimsby as WOP/AG during WW2

I went there in 1993 and 94 🎉

I use to go there when I was in the Army cadets it was brilliant 👍

Wow… I’ve just happened across this video after a trip down memory lane, and it has made me incredibly sad. I actually used to work here, and frequently stayed here, back in the early 2000s when Jeremy (the owners son who, after I knew him, ended up spiralling out of control and squatting here) was still in charge of the computer magazine I wrote for. Back then the place was in good repair, and I have many, many happy memories of my time here. I knew that Jeremy had gone off the rails after the magazine was taken away from him, and his marriage broke down (he was always a difficult character), but to see how it all ended is just… it’s so sad to see a building like this, once so glorious, reduced to rubble. I’ve slept in the bedrooms here, worked in the computer labs out the back, partied in what was once the formal ballroom / music room, and played that grand piano. I had no idea that the place had collapsed like this. At least I, and the others who once worked there in happier times, will have the memories from the place before it turned into this mess.

I used to be in the gliding club in the bardney control tower way back and the guy who owns the medical site you're on was a very unsavoury character. Occasionally we had to fetch the winch cable parachute off his land and was always met by verbal abuse . He hasn't got any better with age so please be careful if you go back, he won't be reasoned with!

go there when they do the taxi runs fantastic

Thanks for the video, I traced my family tree to this family. Marmaduke Constable was my 17th great gf

I am afraid not ..I was ground radio flight. 📻 😮

Great video. I was stationed till dec88 used to travel from North Cotes to Binbrook did last lock up until raf police used to patrol.

The artwork is ace.

are these structures still there in 2024?

The ladder at the end of the air raid shelter is for escape purposes should the entrance become blocked due to enemy action.

Хороший ролик!

What a shame to see such a nice old lighthouse just left like that.. thanks for sharing 😊👍

Kirwins are still going, a few merchants have moved to the north quay
