Exploring RAF Hornchurch War Defences, Including Rare Tett Turrets, Essex.

#RAF #Essex #Military This week we headed down to the former site of RAF Hornchurch in southern Essex to see what remains of the Airfield there.. Dating back to 1915 this was one of the Uks most important in its heyday protecting London and the Thames from the threat from German airships and later went on the play a great part in the Battle Of Britain and during the D-day landings. Unfortunately today having post war been used as a quarry and a rubbish dump not too much remains of the airfield buildings but there are still plenty of bits to see if you know where to look including the very rare Tett Turrets which only a handful still survive!
