Hi all,

An interesting video taken of various cars rotting away on an airfield, that were chopped in against new cars during the scrappage scheme a few years ago. It's worth skipping to the drone footage to see the older stuff that's still in residence.

I'm not sure what the owners of the site make of such footage being taken (!), but it's out there on Youtube in the public domain now:

Some amazing stuff in there! Needs to be saved really.
Reminds me of when my brother was in the RAF, when they went on tours or moved stations many cars would simply be dumped at the base. He took on a Mk1 Escort and a Mk1 Carlton from memory. They just had to wait a certain period of time to make sure the cars werent reclaimed.
