Me and Tankman dropped by this post after visiting the Kettering resto team, good to see you guys:thumb

This post is situated on Pastoral land and gives excellent views of the English Civil War battlefield of Nasby of June 1645.
The aircraft post has been renovated into a viweing platform of the battlefield with plaque inside explaining about the history of the battlefield but sadly no mention of the post:( There is also a flag pole erected:confused:

Inside the post is apparently trashed and burnt out, which is a shame from looking at SB pictures, the post is now locked due to it now being a public area.
