Site 6, the Sub Depot, was converted to civilian accommodation after the war ( as were other sites ), which is why they have toilets attached. The huts were generally split into three rooms, a kitchen, bedroom and living area. During the war, there were separate ablutions, latrine and shower blocks.
Thanks, yes I’ve subsequently researched it, interesting history. Would love to explore some of the more inaccessible/hidden parts one day, with the landowners permission.
@@Iceni_PaulI've done two tour videos of my own, guided by Ron Batley, the museum chairman. They are a combination of pictures, video and maps of the sites. ruclips.net/video/sJZ6jEXc6mU/видео.htmlsi=UPy2Edh7WpLE1d2a ruclips.net/video/8GVfDbgnqFQ/видео.htmlsi=uPfo66bU9-BHoe5q
A fascinating & educational trip back in time here mate. You captured it really well. There is so much history on people's doorsteps that they are, for the most part sadly unaware of. And it's only because of folk like yourself that others find out about them & they are preserved on film for the future. Great stuff. Just seen you've got a new inflatable too. Gonna check that out in a bit. Hoping to get back on the water soon
Cheers mate, yeah, it’s a fascinating place once you delve into its history. Got ‘HMS Deflatable’ recently, thought I’d have a session on it yesterday afternoon on the Little Ouse, with the intention of doing a wild camp on the bank somewhere overnight. Unfortunately I hadn’t bargained on the weather being so shit, and had to call it quits when the heavens opened and I got drenched through (despite wearing waterproofs). Still, it was nice to get back out on my favourite bit of river. I shall return! 😉👍
I enjoyed the video but found that you were panning the camera around a bit fast and it was hard to see what you were videoing and the information you put on screen disappeared too quickly to be able to read it. But good to be able to see what's left of the base , which isn't much by the looks ,. Thanks for the tour 👍
Noted! Thanks for pointing that out, I will take that on board for future videos, I did wonder if the segments were a little short, so thanks for confirming it, and I'll try and slow the pans down in future too.
Be glad it's still around with a museum. A lot of these wartime airfields have vanished completely. Somebody had the foresight to do something about saving TA.👍
After just finishing watching Masters of the air, this was the perfect Video. Thx for sharing. Well done, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!
They have no shame no respect 😢 😢thank you for this upload ❤ regards😊❤

The phone box looks to have a Kings crown on it.
So pre-1953, therefore could very well
have been there in the 1940’s. Result.👍

It's heartbreaking to see it all now

To be fair, none of the buildings were intended to last more than a few years anyway, so they’ve done incredibly well to survive as long as they have.
@@Iceni_Paul Yep, valid point.
177 planes lost here..second highest..not sure of the first one....
It really makes me sick history lost for ever "Shame"
@@LesleyClarke-px9nr you can’t save everything, sadly.
