Field Report: RAF Church Fenton



First opened in 1937, RAF Church Fenton is the former home of the first American Eagle Squadrons and was formally regarded as one of the UK's most important strategic airfields, offering rapid reaction fighter defence to the industrial cities of Sheffield, Bradford and Leeds during the second World War. Now, after decades of faithful service in defence of the realm, the air station stands as a lonely hostage to both time and decay.

Field Report: Inside an Abandoned Asylum




Five AM. The morning was thick with dense fog as we snaked along quiet roads and cut through the dawn undetected. Adventure laid in wait. We had spent the previous week planning this. As the evening drew in we'd synchronised watches and tried to get an early night. We couldn't sleep and we found ourselves at the kitchen table pouring over maps and aerial photographs, blueprints and reports. Hell, we could have been Green Berets. Our schematics and our methods were immaculate.

We managed to get a few hours shut-eye before early morning roll call. We bundled out into the car and hit the road.
