RAF Wittering Bomb Store Aug 2016

[mookster]

RAF Wittering's bomb store is one of those locations that I had always wanted to have a wander around but had never quite been in the right area to do so, but finally I found myself within relatively easy reach with Landie Man the other day. After a cock up with the coordinates which took us to completely the wrong side of Peterborough and getting stuck in some ridiculous roadwork traffic we made it.​

 ​

Access was a doddle and we spent an hour or so there poking around. There is a lot of graffiti here of varying degrees of talent, some real good stuff and some utter dross but that's a given really.​

 ​

After a pesky rain shower had cleared we were treated to some fantastic skies which made things a bit more interesting.​

Unfortunately empty and really with a lot of graffiti. But at least, finally a more beautiful sky, as at the beginning.

Nice piccies there mate  

Isn't this known as Collyweston? It was one of the remote ammunition storage areas for RAF Wittering. The main ESA at RAF Wittering is still in use
