Blast walls from the Cold War period
Blast walls from the Cold War period
Two groups of eight pairs of Y-shaped hardstandings with concrete blast walls large enough to accommodate a squadron’s aircraft were constructed in the Cold War period. The hardstandings between each blast wall were used for parking of a fuel bowser connected to refuelling hoses through a circular hole in the centre of the blast walls. This group stands on the eastern side of the flying field. The perimeter track can be seen in the foreground.
