Exploring A HIDDEN AIRFIELD With ABANDONED Gulf WAR MILITARY JETS Teasing Tina, Comet 4C, Nimrod

⚠️ This explore was carried out with respect — nothing was taken, and nothing was damaged. ⚠️ This video is for documentation and exploration purposes only. We do not encourage trespassing or illegal activity. ⚠️⚠️ As a professional urban explorer, I document abandoned locations with careful planning, with the right equipment, and a strong focus on safety. These environments can be unpredictable and dangerous, so I wouldn’t recommend attempting to access sites like this if you’re new to urbex — experience and caution are essential. Exploring Abandoned Gulf War Jets at Bruntingthorpe Airfield 🇬🇧 In this exploration, I take you deep inside the historic Bruntingthorpe Airfield, where several legendary aircraft from the Gulf War era now sit abandoned and slowly fading away. Hidden away on this massive former military site, we came across several incredible jets — including “Comet” and the iconic “Teasing Tina” — both with fascinating pasts and now left exposed to the elements. Seeing these once-powerful machines up close is both surreal and humbling. Bruntingthorpe itself has a rich aviation history. Originally opened during World War II as part of the RAF network, it was later used by the United States Air Force during the Cold War. Eventually, it became a storage and maintenance site for aircraft. Over the years, it became well known for housing retired jets, many of which were used for ground testing, spares, or simply left in storage after their service life ended. Some of the aircraft here are believed to have connections to operations around the time of the Gulf War, making this location even more significant from a historical perspective. Today, however, parts of the site feel frozen in time — with aircraft like these left to decay, creating an eerie but fascinating atmosphere for urban explorers. Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR.2 XV226 First production Nimrod, which first flew on June 28, 1968, and features special 40th-anniversary Converted to MR.2 standard before becoming a treasured exhibit after the type retired from the RAF in 2010 De Havilland Comet 4C, serial number XS235 (nicknamed "Canopus", civil registration G-CPDA), was the last Comet to fly, performing its final flight on March 14, 1997. Operated by the UK's Royal Aircraft, XS235 "Canopus": Role & Service: Served for 33 years as a specialised trials aircraft at Boscombe Down, testing avionics and radar. Handley Page Victor XM715, nicknamed "Teasin' Tina," is a surviving British Cold War-era strategic bomber converted to a K.2 tanker. Built in 1962, it served with the RAF before becoming one of only two Victor tankers capable of high-speed taxi runs. Final Flight: Made its final flight, a ceremonial last sortie, on March 14, 1997, with former test pilot John Cunningham on board. Originally a B.2 high-level nuclear bomber (1962), it was converted for strategic reconnaissance and finally to a K.2 tanker, serving in the Falklands and Gulf War. Preservation: Retired in 1993, it was purchased by the Walton family and is maintained by the Victor XM715 team for fast-taxi demonstrations. Accidental Takeoff: In 2009, during a high-speed taxi run, the aircraft unexpectedly became airborne. Appearance: Often seen in a "hemp" or desert pink colour scheme, often referred to as "Teasin' Tina" If you enjoy abandoned explores and urban exploration content, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more.
