“Whispering Death” was the nick name for the F-111 fighter-bomber that were housed inside these Hardened Aircraft Shelters during the cold war in the RAF Upper Heyford, Quick Reaction Alert Facility, UK. I thought the moniker was also an apt title for this series of photographs of the military paranoia of the era. Crews sat for four hour shifts in nuclear-armed F-111 bombers, engines running in the middle of the Oxfordshire countryside ready to respond to any Soviet threat at a moments notice. The facility is the best preserved Cold War Airfield in Europe.

wow,so evocative and so sensitively photographed….
Thanks Milu 🙂
There is something timeless about these shots
Hi Rajiv, Thanks – it felt like the planes could have left yesterday but the facility has been unused since 1994
Thanks for posting. I love the breadth of the work you create.
Many thanks!
I love these photographs. They are really thought provoking. They seem really austere and cold, but very intriguing. Thank you for sharing them.
Thanks Dominic, yes thats what drew me to them. The idea of the destruction that could have be unleashed from these bland buildings is a chilling thought
