UPPER HEYFORD, UK: WELCOME to the abandoned RAF base where both Roger Moore and Brad Pitt starred in movies where they single handedly saved the world. Haunting pictures of the one-hundred-year old base show the slowly decaying facilities at RAF Upper Heyford, which is one of the oldest military air force bases on the planet and was the centre of US airpower in Europe during WW2. Images show a rusting generator, ammunition boxes and heavy metal sheet buildings still in place and where the movie blockbusters such as Bond film, Octopussy and Zombie flick, World War Z were both filmed.

UPPER HEYFORD, UK: WELCOME to the abandoned RAF base where both Roger Moore and Brad Pitt starred in movies where they single handedly saved the world. Haunting pictures of the one-hundred-year old base show the slowly decaying facilities at RAF Upper Heyford, which is one of the oldest military air force bases on the planet and was the centre of US airpower in Europe during WW2. Images show a rusting generator, ammunition boxes and heavy metal sheet buildings still in place and where the movie blockbusters such as Bond film, Octopussy and Zombie flick, World War Z were both filmed. Other shots show what appear to be military files strewn across an empty office with a filing cabinet discarded in the haste to move out. The images were taken by British sales advisor and urban explorer Jason Kirkham (44) from Staffordshire.
