Visiting Holmpton next month, hoping this will be open, its amazing!

4:35 a huge cannabis grow was found in there by police a few weeks ago

My dad served as a flight engineer at Strubby during WW2. I visited a few years back. ❤

where is this

Thanks for filming this... I worked here for a short while - great team of Radio Officers here. Shame to see the place like this.. I could visualise the kit and staff in the main control room... happy memories.

I was there in June '84 for basic training. Good times. Then moved onto the Rafreg depot at Catterick. An entirely different experience! 😂

Memories, was at Binbrook in the 60,s . Tannoys in the blocks for the QRA alarms at 03.00 !!!

A lovely filming. Non intrusive.Emotional. Augusta Ada Lovelace nee Byron was correct when she visited the restored estate 16 months or so before her death, and wrote to her mother that no Byron could have afforded the work that Lord Byron's friend did--a labor of love and tribute to George Gordon Byron. Thank you for a sensitive and beautiful tour.

Here in May 1982. Never fails to amaze me how we excel at destruction in this country now, but fail consistently to create build or inspire any more. The only thing we can build is ugliness and mediocrity! Honour is something that is never considered any more so the idea of a field of honour must seem baffling! Once, Swinderby was a place where young men who loved and cared for the next generation of Englishmen made their last contact with this once beloved island before they flew to their deaths! My Grand Father was lucky, he survived! His sense of betrayal by the subsequent generation that came along was obvious though! I wrote this on you tube once before about my Grand Father, and some body replied “Well, your Grand father was a racist then!” What ever, what ever!!! Ha!

300 years! next year! God bless the Grand Lodge of Ireland

I was there last week and climbed in for a look 👍🏼

My late father served on 142 squadron flying from RAF Grimsby as WOP/AG during WW2

I went there in 1993 and 94 🎉

I use to go there when I was in the Army cadets it was brilliant 👍

Wow… I’ve just happened across this video after a trip down memory lane, and it has made me incredibly sad. I actually used to work here, and frequently stayed here, back in the early 2000s when Jeremy (the owners son who, after I knew him, ended up spiralling out of control and squatting here) was still in charge of the computer magazine I wrote for. Back then the place was in good repair, and I have many, many happy memories of my time here. I knew that Jeremy had gone off the rails after the magazine was taken away from him, and his marriage broke down (he was always a difficult character), but to see how it all ended is just… it’s so sad to see a building like this, once so glorious, reduced to rubble. I’ve slept in the bedrooms here, worked in the computer labs out the back, partied in what was once the formal ballroom / music room, and played that grand piano. I had no idea that the place had collapsed like this. At least I, and the others who once worked there in happier times, will have the memories from the place before it turned into this mess.

I used to be in the gliding club in the bardney control tower way back and the guy who owns the medical site you're on was a very unsavoury character. Occasionally we had to fetch the winch cable parachute off his land and was always met by verbal abuse . He hasn't got any better with age so please be careful if you go back, he won't be reasoned with!

go there when they do the taxi runs fantastic

Thanks for the video, I traced my family tree to this family. Marmaduke Constable was my 17th great gf

I am afraid not ..I was ground radio flight. 📻 😮

Great video. I was stationed till dec88 used to travel from North Cotes to Binbrook did last lock up until raf police used to patrol.

The artwork is ace.

are these structures still there in 2024?

The ladder at the end of the air raid shelter is for escape purposes should the entrance become blocked due to enemy action.

Хороший ролик!

What a shame to see such a nice old lighthouse just left like that.. thanks for sharing 😊👍

Kirwins are still going, a few merchants have moved to the north quay

Hi love your vids my inlaws live next to the site keep meaning to go have a look i have heard of a underground part of this but cannot find anything on it do u know anything about it xxxxx

Algernon (naughty ) massingberd .A sad matter that at 16 became baron to fall for his true love daisy (the gardeners daughter of gunby.He was lead to believe she was not of his status . And it is said soon began to get his own back on those guiders to gamble it all away. Hence he was presumed lost beyond the sea,s at 21 ( hmmm

I did not like Binbrook, I think it was because the Married Kennels were so bad!

I went yesterday and had a look around quite a few of the accommodation blocks and mess buildings etc and a couple of the houses had a great explore enjoyed your video

Spider all abandoned Spider 🕷️ like abandoned like inside

When I lived in Lincolnshire I drove by old RAF Kelstern and stopped where the road crosses the remains of the old wartime runway. Most of the land has reverted to agricultural usage but the runway is still visible.

Where is this lighthouse??

What a waste of a nice building. Imagine it would make a nice house. 👍🇬🇧

i would buy that if i had the money

Cool location, sleep there the night, all night.

That place must have looked so beautiful & cozy in its heyday

These blocks were originaly 21 man rooms there were 4 rooms on each floor with a corporals bunk at the end of each room.They were converted to single man roomsin the early 70s

Would be nice if showed less of the floor

The main building is all gone these are other bits of the site. The house itself was blown up. It was left in a terrible state after it was requisitioned during the war like many others. The scout movement were originally going to purchase the manor as the British headquarters but after various delays legal and other it was too late. All the lead had been stolen from the roofs and bays resulting in major water ingress and collapses. For safety reasons it was then blown up for quick desposal.

I was born while we were living at RAF Binbrook in 1958

My ex sister had it with her little boy. I helped get it ready for her to move in

iv been in that rook a couple of times, loads of bangs, gd k2 an evp

Jay and Irish!!! Long time no see! Good to see you guys. You do an Awesome Homer!!🤣 Thanks for the tour!

Hi you two! Interesting museum. Looks like a lot of fun.

Dont really know what im here for. My grandfather completed a full tour plus one, 31 missions, flown in wellingtons and lancasters out of RAF Binbrook, 460 squadron, 1941-43. Tail gunner as well so that full tour was a rare one. He then went back and trained bomber gunners up until VJ day.

That place has been stripped bare

Dangerous work.

That bike is wowza. Thanks for the museum tour.

awesome day in Museum. I enjoyed to watch it I never was in Dublin maybe someday I will visit
