Salvage Hunters

Drew explores a remote, derelict fuel shed located on a former air force base in Suffolk. Inside, he uncovers vases fashioned from cow bones and an intriguingly striking stone face corbel that adds a remarkably haunting element to the site.

In this episode, presenter Drew heads out to a derelict fuel shed situated on the grounds of an old air‑force station in Suffolk. The programme centres on his exploration of the forgotten site, giving viewers a glimpse of what lies behind the rusted doors of this long‑abandoned structure. Inside the shed, Drew comes across a pair of unusual vases, each painstakingly carved from the bones of cows. The bone work is striking, with the natural contours of the material shaping the vessels. Alongside these macabre containers, he also spots a stone face corbel that exudes a haunting presence, its weathered features hinting at a mysterious past. The setting itself adds to the mood; the former air‑force base, now silent, provides a stark backdrop for the artefacts. The disused fuel shed, with its lingering industrial scent and dim lighting, creates an atmosphere that underscores the eerie quality of the bone vases and stone corbel. The faint echo of distant aircraft once based there seems to linger in the air. Through his walk through the shed, Drew draws attention to how these objects, hidden for years, reflect a blend of utilitarian purpose and artistic expression. The episode leaves the audience with a clear picture of the strange finds nestled within Suffolk's forgotten military site.
