Sywell - February 2015

[Infraredd]

Sywell is a private Aerodrome that still is in use. It opened in 1928 and during the Second World War as RAF Sywell it was used as a training facility (Tiger Moths) and later an important centre for the repair of Wellington bombers and extensive sheds from this time still remain on the site. So these look like RAF structures to me - but what do I know? Last used as some kind of joinery business - newspapers on floor date to 1999.

Visited Feb 2015.

As you can see they are well hidden even though a road runs right past.

Gotta have one of these

There are 2 of these, both heavily secured with large padlocks.

This is the Hotel & bar now running on the site

Looks pretty interesting there, liking the mix of shots you've taken and would love to know what lies behind those heavy doors. Any chance you could adjust the title to include when you visited roughly please mate? Cheers

Those two red doors have big, heavy padlocks on and the one marked flammable smelt of fuel oil. Date added.

Sorry about 4th pic - re edited on Flickr & checked it was OK on my browser obviously not universally! Now should be fixed.

Figured out how to photograph behind the red doors but it's nothing amazing I'm afraid. Quality isn't great 'cause I used a small camera on the end of a pole for the colour & my small Canon I/R through a gap above the door for the other.

Nice little explore and great shots mate

Good effort capturing those eggy jars with the pole mate, i wonder what's inside them?
