I had seen this site posted recently on various forums from a couple of UK lads. I don’t think I had seen much posted from the place before…..or rather I just hadn’t paid much attention to it.   After seeing photos from the turbine hall then this was a must have location on the euro derp...

Ok I have visited this place various times now but never got round to posting it up. Others I have visited with have posted it in various places. The condition of the plane has gone down hill each time I have returned which is a real shame. There is a small amount of history if you hunt around...
