A MASSIVE fire broke out at an old RAF base this morning.
Fire crews rushed to Wigsley Old Airfield in Nottinghamshire at 1.25am.
Around 12,000 tonnes of hay bales and standing corn were ablaze.
There were about 10 fire engines and multiple rural firefighting vehicles tackling the flames.
Three engines remain on scene, where they’re creating fire breaks to extinguish the blaze.
The brigade said crews will be on scene for the next few days to fully extinguish the fire and determine a cause.
RAF Wigsley was built between 1941-1942 as a satellite base for the Royal Air Force.
It was operational from February 1942 and closed in July 1958.
There are still buildings from the war on the site today.
