Grostenquin, France
Support Photographs

RCAF Station Grostenquin had been closed for six years at this stage. Looking at the photos - we notice that the trees are increasing in height, and weeds are slowly starting to show in areas that were once maintained in immaculate condition. It is also obvious that the buildings are in a state of decay and non-repair.
