I used to fly a lot from Birmingham to Edinburgh and my fav thing to do was spot all the old airfields in England
Covid lockdown binge. Luving it!
Great find guys,so glad that bunker hasn’t been destroyed.👏👍
Fantastic video folks keep up the great work from your Cornish fan
brilliant video as always folk! i have several of those Baldwin Electrical cable bricks at home, found them in the local river!
Thanks Ian and Chris welcome back 🤠
I am from that area. and where the clearing is at In the early 80's it was a camp site for scouting and those heads and other sculptures was there for orienteering to turn compass work etc
We have a battle headquarters at work, always fun to poke around when it isn't flooded!
Owes lol. Adi ‘the gate probably wasn’t there when it was a runway ;) ‘
Nice battle hq with the rather unique storage under the orlit. Great that the manhole is still intact. The glass topped area was the generator room for the hq and firing positions. Nice Yorkshire brick. I’m glad you’ve filmed it all as it won’t be there much longer. The bomb dump area was a caravan park at one time. Looking forward to part 2 :)
Quality content folks, I never subbed to a channel faster
All video are awesome think you all for sharing
Brilliant stuff! I live just down the road from Chipping Warden airfield which HS2 are sadly destroying. Best wishes, Paul in Lower Boddington
LOL good one very interesting. Nice underground spa, if a bit cold. Cheers from New York!
Ooh, Ian, that was painful, to hear Ouse pronounced as "Owse" - It would be like a Yorkshireman going to London and referring to the River Thaymes"... 😁😂🤣😃😄😅😆😉😊 - It's pronounced Ooze!
Acaster Malbis, in the historic West Riding of Yorkshire, though the 'field was actually closer to Acaster Selby.
Yep, that building was the generator house (I knew you'd home in on a generator house!), and is on the same basic plan as here at Breighton, just smaller. Depending on the airfield's power requirements, there could have been one, two, or three, generating sets. Again, here, we reputedly had three Rolls-Royce/Petbow 0.5MW sets. A lot depended upon whether electricity was available locally. In our part of the world, electricity came with the airfield! So one plant was running 24/7, a second plant would be fired up when needed, and the third was kept on standby so that any one plant could be taken offline for service/repair, leaving two to carry the load. At Acaster, that appears to be a single plant generator house.
The building is 'baffled' - It has an outer false wall where the radiators and fans were mounted, along with the huge exhaust silencers and was there to protect the engine ancillary equipment from strafing. it was never earth banked, and as such would not stand up to a bomb blast. Generator houses were usually installed at a remote part of the field, and were not a particular target of the Luftwaffe. There should also have been a small 'outhouse' set into the ground, with a bunded sump, and containing the main fuel tank - roughly 1000 to 2000 gallons. The generator hall is in the centre of the building, and whereas ours has (it still exists!) a solid armoured concrete roof, the one at Acaster appears as though it was only a lightweight asbestos roof.
During my time working at Askham Bryan, I visited Acaster airfield - to retrieve a Claas Combined harvester. I saw the generator house then, about thirty years ago! It was in better condition then.
At 17:46 you're in the engine ancillaries' area - where the silencers and radiators would have been.
Wind back to 17:36 and you're in what looks to be the generator hall - note the rectangular holes toward the bottom of the back wall - can you guess what they were for?
At 18:21 you're looking at a tiny part of one of the cable ducts that ran from the generator hall. It's partially filled with fallen leaves and other vegetable matter - beware, they are deep. Never stand on that decomposing leaf litter unless you want a nasty fall! (remember the cable ducts in the pump room at Portsdown?).
At 19:12 you're looking at what looks to have been a mount for an exhaust silencer.
"Wot's iss stuff?" - at 21:15 that's animal waste leachate. It's washed out from the manure heaps you're walking past! It's harmless enough - in fact you could bottle it up and use it to feed your garden plants. You'd get some lovely spuds, cucumbers and tomatoes etc. At it's worst, it pongs of pig poo!
Awesome as usual kind ah dis pointed no airplane sound looking over the air field like the heli sound you do.
Any decent air-rifle could’ve made those holes. Another great hat, another great video, Ian.
Thanks for the information folks :)
Possibly air riffle. 22 could be . 22 or. 17 hmr rim fire, prob used it sight in check great content guys as always
CHRIS: It smells of dead animal in here.
IAN: It's these waders.
😆😆😆😆😆
remember going there if i was early to the nearby college but never really found nowt and read up on wikipedia that is now farming land
This ones going to require beer and snacks folk.
always a fun adventure
17m in the building is a sub station according to Atlantikwall.co.uk
Hi interesting find just odd there is a lot of RAF bases round there in one small area....like riccle, Church Fenton, Snaith, and Linton on ouse but don't know if that still active
There's a one nr Bridlington now called carnaby industrial estate apparently the some of the run way lights still there if look carefully
Sup bois!! Wow nice one dudes

River " oooze" you bongo drummer. 😂😂😂
How did you get access to the bhq?
It's always guarded by cattle when I go
Was no cattle when we went
Hey there you crazy guys hope you’re doing well 👍👍
All concrete covered drains ! Are cable ducts the grilled are drainage .
They dug a trench by a ditch then filled in that's how I found thirty 500 pounders and five 1000 pounders still alive they blew them up!!! they were going build train tracks ontop not until I ran electric cable with ditch witch digger and uncovered them!!! Stupid it they did worry about it!!!: )
Nearly bought control tower 30 years ago
It was my dream, but its sold and restored now.
Same for the old barracks/ pigfarm, it's being turned into house's
The bomb dump is what my coworkers call the loo after I get out of there 🤢🤢
👍

Ooooooze, not ouse 😂
Surprised they didn't utilize the old airfield for local use , civilian and small commercial airlines , hmmmm 🤔 you can see the cross runways but no taxiways or parking spot considering the size of aircraft , what the hell AstroTurf Weird , lolololol something smells and is nasty as Chris has the camera looking at him 🤣 , WOWWW bomb shelters and workshops , should have brought your snorkel and masks 🤣🤣ewww , lolololol common Ian just swim you'll be alright it's only sludge water lol , just more Golden Gems Rotting Away, some of them have been used as cover for modern ummm covert installation , so satellite won't see them COMRAD 🤔🙄🤣 OIGH FELLAS KEEP YOUR BRITCHES UP LOLOLOLOL 🤣 and I must say thanks for the extra nasty effort to show us the unique details that water was really cold and NASTY GDAY Y'ALL TAKE CARE FOLKS INDEED 👌👌👌 LOLOLOLOL
