RAF Newton, Notts, Dec14

[The Wombat]

Long time since I've had an explore with Frizman, and he'd just got his first Canon DSLR. Newton had been on the list for a long time, it was a good place for him to try it out.

I thought everything had gone from here, and that I had long missed the boat, so was quite pleased to find there were still a few buildings around to explore. Some rooms were a bit a stripped and empty, but buildings like the dining hall and bar were rewarding. Apart from the beginning of the day, we didn't see security again, so had an enjoyable few hours mooch.

Thanks to Mr Sam for information on this place.

Explore with Frizman, on a bright winter's day.

RAF Newton is a disused airfield immediately to the south of Main Street. It opened in July 1940 and closed in 2000. The hangars and other buildings are now used by a number of businesses within the Newton Commercial Centre.

thanks for looking

Jaysus H, i went there when it was open. Good yet sad to see it now. They moved most of the Newton memorabilia to RAF Syerston. There's a big old wooden clock in the cookhouse from there. Cheers for sharing Wombat
