What a pig sty! In a corner of wartime RAF Wigsley is this pile of old pig sties. Beyond is a controversial wind turbine, opposed by nearby residents but now built. Out of sight is a vast open area of the former airfield now devoted to pigs.

RAF Wigsley Airfield RAF Wigsley was active from 1942 to 1958. Here you can see part of the runway and a pile of rubble that probably came from some demolished wartime facility.
