I know its been done loads and its really trashed but i liked it there

Visited here with Stoka,

RAF Croft became tenanted by the USAF in 1955 to provide a processing point for personnel and dependants when Burtonwood was assigned the additional function of a MATS terminal for passenger flights between the US and UK. The terminal was located at Prestwick in Scotland.

Unaccompanied personnel were billeted in single rooms and messing facilities were described as being above standard. Exchange facilities were limited as of June 1956 but a large theatre was located on the station and regularly showed 16mm films.

the buildings are used by a farmer now, so many of the rooms are altered to accomodate animals, however trashed as it is, its still pretty interesting to have a rummage around
