One of the great things about this website (that sounds egotistical, but I shall continue) is the amount of feedback I receive from visitors. Most leave memories of their times at the places I visit. Some leave compliments. And very very rarely I get tip-offs about locations. "Steve" left one such comment regarding RAF Bodney and sent a photo of the control tower there. I had a spare morning so decided to visit...
Wikipedia has a ton of info about the place, including an aerial photo showing two hangars. I missed those areas so don't know if they're still there.
It was quite hard to find - there were signs everywhere for MOD Training Grounds, so I was a bit apprehensive. This sign was near the control tower though - lucky 
Control tower
It was windowless, full of pigeons and swallows, didn't smell..
Underground battle HQ
It was flooded and I didn't have good shoes with me, so I didn't go in very far...
Guard/pillbox
This seemed really tall!
Bomb shelter
There was a dead deer in here.
Some random buildings
There were some random buildings scattered around in the forests.

Thanks for sharing pictures of a place I will probably never see in person. My 2nd cousin, Earl Abbott was a pilot with the 328th FS and was MIA on Jan 15, 1945. I wasn't even born when he died but these pictures help me realize the stories I read about him and his stay at Bodney are real and I appreciate what he and all the members of 352 FG did to give me the kind of America I live in. Thank you.
