Binbrook Hangar Fire!
« on: March 06, 2011, 11:35:37 pm »
I know this may not be of much interest to most on this site but I know one or two members will have been to this airfield over the years,it was a local field for me back in the day! No news on the preserved Lightning XR724 which apparently isn't very far away from this hangar. (its the old LTF Hangar)

Always a sad sight to see a hanger fire,

Hopefully the Lightning is ok.

Regards,

Paul

Part of the 1990 film Memphis Belle was made here, the airfield was used as a back drop as were the Hangars.

And a reminder of Binbrook in its final years as an active base:
