      I'm not really sure what you mean.. did you actually watch it? Nearly this entire video consists of looking at buildings and ruins which were originally constructed as part of the RAF base and are now clearly not being used and in alot of cases just left abandoned to fall down.. Whether they went on to be repurposed for a while afterwards doesn't detract from the fact they were built for the airbase originally.. If you feel 'this' is click baited then you might want to avoid UA-cam as it's absolutely riddled with it far more extreme than this! Over 14K views and no one else has had a problem so I'm guessing it can't be that bad..🤔

    In the late 1980’s and early 90s I lived about 100 metres from the dispersaal pen you started off at, and used to walk my dog on the airfield every day. The Tett turrets were in better nick back then and any trees there were just saplings. There were also a lot of dugouts and bunkers behind that dispersal bay next to st Georges Hospital. The two storey pill box had only been buried for a year or two when ‘Two Men in a Trench’ excavated it again and ‘discovered’ those Tett turrets, the entrance door was below ground level and was still visible but had been blocked up. Interesting to see how the place looks 30 years later.

      Thanks Barry, we are hopefully off to explore another Norfolk RAF Airbase at the weekend so maybe keep a look out for that one soon 😊👍

    That was very cool. Love seeing old USAAF bases in England. This being the 100 Th BG & Basingbourne, where the Memphis Bell was I think. Watched Master’s Of The Air & The War Lover Great War Movies about the 8 TH Airforce. Cheer’s guy’s you did a great job.

      Thanks Frank, yes I believe the Memphis Belle flew from a base in Cambridgeshire but wasn't sure which one but many airbases had B17s flying from them around East Anglia of course.. We're actually off to another RAF base in Norfolk this weekend which was transferred to the USAAF although it mainly had B24 Liberators flying from it but you still might be interested so maybe keep a look out for that one on the channel soon. Thanks for watching 😊👍

    RAF Hornchurch was a fighter airfield not a bomber airfied.

      Yes mainly Spitfires I believe, played a big part in the battle of Britain.. I may have slipped up and called them bombers at one point but it was definitely rebuilt during ww2 to be controlled by the RAF Fighter Command.

    Another great and very interesting video of this sadly very battered side of the country. The cliff fall was a scary thing to watch from here and it must have been much worse being there so I'm really glad you were safe. The barrels of petrol and everything really does sound a horrible way to go

      As you can imagine we've often come across the aftermath of erosion but have never actually witnessed it ourselves, it really did make you realise how awful it is.. thankfully it turned out to be a relatively small collapse but you really can't be too careful! The Suffolk coast is such a fascinating place especially for ww2 remains, we're hoping to complete it all eventually and I'm planning on dragging Stu down to Walberswick in the near future although he doesn't know it yet 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting as always and for your continued support 😊👍

    Great video, as always, I was aware of the battery along the prominade but wasn't aware of the underground tunnels. If you've ever been to Happisburgh there is also a similar battery on the clifftop that you can access. Didn't know about the suffolk square pillbox, looks in amazing condition. I'm pretty sure you have covered most of this area as you will know there is still quite a lot of ww2 history left. Just behind the farm at Benacre just off the beach there is a large pillbox with observation post on top. There was also a roc post next to it but sadly destroyed. Also there is a ww2 observation bunker and a couple more pillboxes in the hedgerows near the farm. Covehithe also had an roc post but sadly fell into the sea a long time ago. I hope I didn't bore you too much but I find your channel inspiring 😊

      @@jamesllewellyn5191 Hi James, we're really glad you enjoyed the video, we've since been told by someone that they believe the underground magazines of the Grand hotel battery are infact still mostly intact! I'd love to open that red door and see if it's leads to them.. Its fascinating to think they could still be there.. We have infact been to Happisburgh gun battery a few times and have a rough old video somewhere on our channel of its underground sections.. Our plan is to cover all of the Suffolk coast eventually, as well as alot of Norfolk. We've not filmed the section around Beanacre yet but are aware of what's still there but we're not too sure how accessible it all is as I believe alot is on private land.. Hopefully we'll see what we can get to in the near future.. Thanks again for watching and commenting, always happy to hear from people with any additional information to learn about 👍😊

    Scary moment with the cliff collapse, but great that you captured it on camera. Very interesting and your knowledge of the area was excellent. I think the train line on the beach might be the remains anti-tank defenses against beach landings. Another good explore.

      That cliff fall really did take us by surprise as I'm sure you could tell! 😆 Although there's not too many remains left here now it's a fascinating place to learn about and go exploring, with the constant changing coastline you never quite know what you're going to find.. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment as always 🙂 👍

    This brought back memories of the hols we used to have.when Lowestoft hosted brilliant air shows,.this was several years ago and the radar staation was in pretty good condition I saw the Patreon clip of that cliff fall when Stu used some colourful language!Also remember the rail tracks you saw on Trimingham beach? Well our local free paper has concluded that they were used to transport materials for the sea defences,gryones and revetmants.You mentioned the Shingle Street incident which a BBC docmentary claimed hundreds of Germans were burnt by a sea of fire!👍👍

    • @ExploringWithEmAndStu
      @ExploringWithEmAndStu 27 днів тому

      I remember the Lowestoft airshows well and the year one of the planes had to ditch into the sea! That was quite something to witness! Yes we've since had many messages and comments about the Trimingham tracks on the beach with numerous theories but I do believe they were just to help construct the sea defences like you say.. I watched a few videos about the Shingle Street mystery and haven't made up my mind yet as to what the truth actually is but perhaps that's something we should investigate more in the future.. Thanks for watching and for the support as always. Em and Stu 😊
