Old RAF stores
One of the buildings still easily recognisable is this one, part of a complex of Main stores by the junction of Hudson Close and Dewing Road, on the south side of the Rackheath Industrial Estate. The industrial estate was built on the Technical site of RAF Rackheath, which was an active airfield during WW2.
