Nettleden.com - a place for explorers

RAF Rudloe Manor is now known as JSU Corsham. Rudloe "site 1" is now closed, this photo is of the entrance to "site 3" within the grounds of "site 2".

But yeah, you're right, it's not the place where the actual manor house is.

ahh so it was site 1 i visited today. Thanks for filling me in with that information. I apologize as i was confused. However site 1 is accessable and i'm sure people would love to see it.

I can help here.I was stationed at RAF Box from Feb 1952 to Oct 1953.RAF Rudloe Manor was the administrative site for RAF Box,which was on the other side of the A4 to the Manor.It housed the Officers Mess as well.The entrance to the underground part of RAF Box was via a lift in the middle of a field,with a small Guardhouse and lift building at the top. We lived at a site about 100yds away,with individual rooms in small huts,a NAAFI and airman's mess and various other buildings. Basically underground there was a large Control room,Naafi,toilets,lecture rooms and an Armoury where I was lucky enough to be miss-employed as Staion Armourer for about 14 months.Wonderful time ,I was on my own in the Armoury,could keep my own hours,although I did have to work on the odd night duty as a Fighter Plotter,and used to issue the small arms and instruct the Lads on weapons useage and marksmanship on the local shooting ranges in Box village,Coler
