Thank you so much for this. In the 60’s, we lived in the housing area at Chelveston. The only things still open other than housing and the elementary school were the theatre, BX, and gas station. The rest of the base was already abandoned and our parents were stationed and worked at Alconbury.
Hello Sir, thanks for the wonderful Impressions of the Winterworld and the Information about the area. After 6 Weeks i am back from the Philippines at the also cold and gray german Country. We survived the Storms and Vulkan erruptions. I seen the wobbling in your Video, so the Problems are still the same. Anyway i am sure my FIMI will do the same to again at this lower Temperatures. The next Summer is ahead.
Hi Thomas, did your’s perform ok in the Philippines, or did you not take it? Yes I noticed there were a couple of wobbles in this video. Which is disappointing, but no gimbal glitches thankfully.
@@Graham.Hanson Yes it performed very good at the Philippines, no wobbles no glitches and no wiggeling. Even the Colors i guess was better there. Of course the Temperatures was always above 29 Degrees Celsius the only Thing that was not so nice was the permanent Wind there, sometimes very Strong and dangerouse for the little FIMI.
As part of my ongoing airfields project started in 2014 covering South East England, East Anglia and the East Midlands using gliders and light aircraft Chelveston was investigated and recorded two years ago on the ground as well. The usual solar panels and wind turbines are present on this historic site as your video clearly shows. A very interesting historical site. 200 airfields recorded so far@
Great video, do you know much about the air raid shelters and or bunkers around the area? Me and my brothers recently discovered a few different shelters around bromswold I was wondering if there was more around chelveston?
L K sorry for the late reply. I didn’t know anyone had commented so have only just seen this. In answer to your question, no I’m not aware of any at all to be honest. Not seen any personally but I believe there are some on the airfield as I’ve seen photos. But I have no clue as to their whereabouts. They’re certainly not obvious. I’ve been walking my dogs on that airfield for many years and never come across a shelter. Just a fuel pumping bunker and storage depot that’s fenced off on the north east side of the field.
Chris Woods If you join up to the RAF Chelveston Station 305 page there is some info on there and some USAF servicemen that were there in the early sixties.

Can you get information about the USA service men stationed there in the 1950's?
