Doesn't really answer my question. Just tells me where it used to be. Have no idea where I would find any of the buildings that are left.

If you want a mooch around an old base I think the closest still standing is RAF Croft near Warrington. http://nwex.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3737

Silly me, here is me thinking the buildings may or may not be where the camp used to be, also photo's of empty fields may also be a clue that buildings may no longer exist.

None of the buildings is standing on site. The shelters, which were in a field nearer West Kirby, just as one goes down the hill, where excavated and destroyed about two years ago. However two of the Hangers were relocated at a stable down Park Lane, Meols. They are still in use as stables/menage.

Turnip,
Only some basic foundations remain & these are very overgrown. "Digging Deeper" took me on a guided tour some time ago.

One of the old wooden camp buildings is being used as a scout hut at St. John the Divine; it's easily visible from Frankby Road. They're raising funds to have it replaced with a modern building, though, so it's probably not long for this world.

An old mate of mine from Wallasey did his basic training there before being shipped out to Ceylon!
