Hi folks, due to yet another surgery I have been quiet as of late. But im back (again) and my first upload is of yet another visit to RAF Upwood.
Its a great place to fly with easy access and no chance of hastle from the joe public.

This is also my first video to contain footage from my new Avata. I did do some flying through buildings etc but I havnt featured any of that here. (still learning and footage wasnt great.)

Bumped into a group of FPV pilots and had a good chat while we were there.

Anyway. here it is, I hope you enjoy it.

Incidentally, i did forget to say. My first visit here was in 2019/2020 and i was under the ompression that the place was to be leveled very soon after. But, like many other things covid put a stop to that and so a good 70% of it is still standing.

Went back there last weekend to for some practice with the Avata. So @Steviegeek to answer your question, yes it was filmed recently. This footage was from end of feb but as of last weekend access is still perfect, you can park in the grounds. There are no fences to climb etc. Just park up, find a spot and fly.

If anyone goes, let me know, i will join you as its a great spot. Plus i now know the place like the back of my hand and can tell you where all the best grafiti is and which building has been ‘modified’ specifically for you fpv boys.

Having had a very lucky year with not breaking much and then that comes “crashing down” last weekend with the death of my T1 ranger, here we are suggesting nice easy access bandos… bye bye quads hello RAF Upwood. Looks and sounds great location for it

This was before some of it was Knocked down.

And this is a small walk around.

That was the year it was meant to be demoloished.

I thought there was security at the entrance, driven past and wondered about visiting.

Nope, no security, no patroles. Besides its the main entrance for the industrial estate next door. They cant stop people going in.
