WW1 Airfield - RAF Buckminster - A history
RFC later RAF Buckminster is a largely forgotten WW1 Airfield just to the West of Colsterworth. Although the village of Buckminster is in Leicestershire, the airfield of the same name was over the border in Lincolnshire.
This is its history, i doubt that many will watch it...not important enough
I made it for my friend David in Colsterworth

      excellent account - as i stated i haven't been to Elvey Farm - too much £££££ but it does seem to be genuinely haunted - as yu found out - unlike many of the fabricated reports from this village...my aunt was once staying at a pub in Deal - gone now - she woke up at 2am or thereabouts to the sensation of being choked ....unpleasant

    I first visited RAF Kelstern back in the early 1990's, it was either at the end of 1992 or early 1993 ie the midst of winter. I was with my then girlfriend, we had stopped to take a look at the map and pulled up on the grass at the side of the road, it was the road from Ludford about 20 yards from were it meets the Binbrook road. I glanced up from the map and at the junction right in front of us and there was a man, on a pre-war motorbike dressed in a large leather overcoat, gauntlets, leather helmet and goggles. The man was stopped and was looking around as if to get his bearings, he was facing towards Kelstern. I turned to my girlfriend and said I never heard him pull up, she said me neither, we both looked back at the man on the bike and he was gone ! He was solid and clear and not at all ghostly. What was strange, it was a bitterly cold day to be riding a classic motor bike and he had no crash helmet on, just a leather helmet not unlike a flying helmet. The other strange anomaly, old British bikes you can hear coming from quite a way off, this bike was only 20 or so yards in front of us and he was gone in a glance and with no sound what so ever ?

    Hey, great video! I just wanted to add a little something. Between the years of 2017 and 2021, I went to the school at Felt well (It was an elementary school, not a high school) and I remember one of my teachers telling me about how the school was once barracks for ww2 solders. I must say, something was off about that school, it was really old and the water would often come out yellowish in the bathrooms, making us all question if it was safe to wash our hands with. However, I must say, out of all the oversea air force bases I've been too, Felt well has always seemed to be the strangest and most scary, especially at nighttime. I'm living in Germany now, soon to move to Japan, and I really miss this base. All the best!

      I remember during my teenage years in the late Eighties, my Dad recorded a programme about the Castle Bromwich factory (sadly, the VHS tape has long since been recorded over and lost). Loved hearing the interviews of the people who worked there. Many of which I imagine are no longer with us. My Grandad's third and last wife, worked at a factory owned by Bolton Paul, during the war. So she may have been involved with the construction of the Defiant. Wish I had asked her that one.

    Thank you, that was interesting with some great footage of WW1 planes, and in my home county too. I grew up near to what was RAF Leicester East, later named Stoughton (pronounced Stoeton) Aerodrome and now Leicester Airport. There was a serious crash with fatalities at Stoughton in 1945. We used to play as kids in the fields nearby and there were some disused and derelict military huts, but no spooky occurrences.

    The former RFC airfields like Buckminster are sadly truly forgotten places. If I lived near there, I never would've been any the wiser. Nice intro tune from the film 'Aces High'. Very good film, liked the ending, very poignant and sobering. Great informative video, Chris. It's just as important the RFC airfields get a bit of recognition

    I lived on Blackbull road as a kid. First at 75 then at 92. In 75 i HATED being on my own. In 92 i was in my teenage years, always weird stuff happening ie keys going missing, footsteps on the stairs even though noone was there. I called this invisible being George. A few months pass, til i saw boots under the coats on the coat hooks on the bathroom landing. I thought it was my brother so i said "sooo funny!" Then punched the coats. Nothing/noone was there. I looked doen snd the old boots were gone. Roll on a few more years, mum got the deeds to the house guess whos name was on there?! George. He owned the red cow in the olden days (i forget the year though)...

      fascinating account of growing up in a haunted house (or two perhaps)...keys etc going missing was one of the games played on us at a haunted bungalow in Kingsdown, they always used to turn up later in impossible places - the fridge, the oven,.....wish i could remember what number the house was that we looked at in Folkestone

    It is a shame how some of the airfields don't get the recognition they should as they played a major part probably with many having a lot of loses to there aircrews , It seems that crash sites seem to be more recognised than the airfields ,

    It is touching and somehow ghostly to hesr the airmen's voices on the radio. I could understand several of these EVPs. I wonder what procesding might pull out of the many videos and a few audio recordings that I made in an assortment of ancient sites. I could sense a lot at these sites, but I was not thinking in terms of recording spirits...but maybe it happened...👻🤔

    • @British-Hauntings-and-History

      @British-Hauntings-and-History It is an ability, I believe. I have some audio recordings made inside an extant hall at Sheriff Hutton castle, where I spoke to someone. I have never listened to it on a good audio system. I wonder if there would be responses audible if processed. 🤔
