the Maunsell sea forts are listed, I flew the Islander between those things.......trust me there is barely enough space, probably the craziest thing I ever did in that thing.

 

Nice find there Swep, some of those places look amazing, I like your old place of work too, it's like a real life Black Mesa.

Have a look here;

This is just down the road from me, hidden in the rolling green of the Devon/Dorset border, Cannington viaduct; 

 

 

 

 

It's made from non-reinforced concrete poured into shuttering so it's not an easy thing to dismantle but it's been abandoned since the railway was shut around fifty years ago.  I expect it'll collapse slowly into the shifting stream bed it's built across eventually.  Infact the cost of this bridge was doubled during it's construction when one stormy night one of the pillars started to sink into the gravel bed.  They had to bring in hundreds of bricklayers to give it a crutch.

"I say Bivington old chap....10 shillings if you get your spit through the big hole 30 for the middle one and 50 for the small one....

Wow.   Love those images.  Would be nice to visit something like that someday.

Love those places too. Especially when it looks like they just left work at noon 1954 and never came back again.

The nearest abandoned place is like 20 minutes drive from my home and another 15 minutes walk in the woods to reach this old power station built 1903 and abandoned 1964 for a new station higher up the river. Looks totally differnt summer time, lol.

Željava underground air base:

Abandoned DC-3 and F-84 near the site, I swear I want to come here one day and tow these away for myself as they're just rotting here

 

 

Throttle quadrant anyone?

 

 

 

 

The actual airbase, all destroyed and burned from the inside though.

You can see how the fire weakened the steel

This huge hotel in my town has been abandoned and decaying since the war. It was finally demolished a few months ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is the large communist monument and museum on Petrova Gora, the site of a major field hospital of the WW2 Partisan resistance:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are big scary microwave antennas on top

This looks like a great place to film a zombie apocalypse movie.
