Aquila, in many ways, was a rather different exploration. Firstly,
I was offered the chance to explore the buildings, neither having discovered, nor researched
the location. Secondly, when I’d been given some details, I couldn’t find anything else about
it. MOD Aquila was a secret, silent place.
And thirdly, before even putting one picture up, people have been e-mailing me. Aquila
piqued the curiosity of many, so I was somewhat privileged just to have got in through the main gates.
And given the secrecy, and the rules governing the site, I doubt if there are any other photographs of it.
Almost a month after I took these pictures, the site was demolished. New, much needed, but ultimately
dull housing is now being constructed. Welcome to the final days of Aquila.
