Report - RAE Bedford 3×3, 8×8 & Canteen: August 2023.

That’s the biggest lie I’ve heard since @Landie_Man claimed to have ‘bought’ that enamel lampshade. So be honest - where did you actually yoink it from?

I 'found' it in his shed

 

[Exploring with Andy]

Fantastic coverage, actually the best I've seen from here

Thank you. Was hoping to have got a few more buildings done but that damn woman stopped that happening....

 

[JakeV50]

Nicely covered and some great images, wouldn't mind another look around the wind tunnel building, must be 10 years ago since I did and my pics were proper shonky.

Thank you. Certain bits are more decayed now. One of the control rooms has got a leaky roof

Nicely done, this was one of my first decent explores. Been back recently and it’s still ace

 

[Ferox]

Some report that mate. Cracking shots and excellent coverage

 

[Wastelandr]

Wicked report, nice to see all three parts in one. Great shots and writeup as usual, the variety of focal lengths and types of shot is impressive. I could've absolutely cracked one out in that control room, dare I say one of the nicest things I've ever seen. There's something about that hum of the fluorescent lighting and how minimal the space is. You guys needed to try all the light switches! Also that 3x3 substation is cool.

Thank you. Also, thanks for the heads up on the 8x8!

Really! You've just come back from Germany, I imagine there was some beautiful stuff there.

I really liked the substation, not very big and an absolute pain to photograph but still a bit different.

There was some wicked stuff in Germany, but this defo remains up there in the top 3 control rooms I've seen. I think if the lights didnt work and it was less original it wouldn't have been as good, but it felt like it hadn't lost an ounce of its original glory.

Yeah Im quite liking the electrical stuff lately, never really considered it until recent.

Oh very much so, felt like it had shut down a couple of weeks ago, not all them years back.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of your Europe bits!

Agree with the electricity stuff. Done water based buildings a lot recently so need to move on to electric ahaha.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Top stuff. Something for almost everyone there. Its aging beautifully. Love the peel and flora coming in. The control rooms are absolutely cracking. Well done guys

Really nice report man, never did the canteen but I always love seeing that ‘you never know who’s listening’ poster, always seems very dystopian…

 

[bollard]

Probably my favourite location of the last 5 years. I've been here so many times and spent many years trying to access the 8x8. Finally cracked it twice in the last 12 months.

 

[TheTimeChamber]

That's bloody fantastic, I really should get my arse in gear and see this, been meaning to for years and years lol
