The NAAFI store - interior
This NAAFI building is situated on the former Communal site of RAF Swannington. It would seem to be used for storage.

NAAFI stands for Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes. It was established through Winston Churchill as a Not for Profit organisation on 6th December 1920 and continues to serve the Services around the world today, providing catering, retail and leisure facilities. The NAAFI is the British equivalent of the American Post-exchange (PX).
RAF Swannington

The aerodrome at Swannington became operational in April 1944. It was the last airfield to be opened in Norfolk during the war. Locally known as Haveringland airfield, the station was the home of two RAF squadrons, the 85th and the 157th, and for some time also of No. 229 and 451 Squadrons of the Royal Australian Air Force. Put under RAF care and maintenance in August 1945 it was closed in 1947 and sold off in 1957. See also: Link
