Recently, Bridge Classic Cars spent the afternoon with Alan from Silverstone Auctions as we were given ‘access all areas permission’ of the RAF Bentwaters site for a very unique and special photo shoot on our 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS QV.

Guided by security we were shown some of the iconic sites normally hidden away from view at Bentwaters as we visited: The Hush House, Star Wars Building, Bomb Stores, Runways, Production Offices, Control Tower, South West Development, Stunt Areas and Back Lots, Hardened Air Craft Hangars, the ‘Victor Alert’ Area before being let loose to explore for ourselves.

Thank you so much to the Bentwaters office team and security who were all very accommodating. Thank you as well to Alan and Steven of Silverstone Auctions.

Check out some of the amazing photos we captured…
