RAF Bempton was an RAF base situated at Bempton in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, 6 miles north of Bridlington. The site was established in February 1940 as RAF Flamborough Head, but was renamed by the end of that year. It was a GCI station which disbanded on 1 August 1945. From 1945 operated as a Air Ministry Experimental Station Type 31 subsequently on 1 June 1949 it was established as a CHL/CHEL radar station. ON 17 February 1950 RAF Bempton was transferred to RAF Fighter Command. On 1 November 1951 it was renamed as 146 Signals Unit Bempton and rebuilt as part of the ROTOR Programme. The 146 Signals Unit was disbanded on 1 December 1961
Bempton became a satellite station of RAF Patrington until final closure in April 1972. The site was sold in 1980/81 and is now privately owned.
Myself, MAD MAX, Cobra and geedubua, visited this site. It was a cold and very windy day and the only way in (due to the removal of the escape stairs) was through rancid cow waste (S**T). The bunker is situated on only one level (unlike RAF Holmpton, which is close by), there is a large area of fire damage in the large full length room along one side of the hall. Some of the Graffiti in the bunker is a little fruity (LOL) and goes back to times when the bunker was used as a location for satanic ritual.
