    Robin, yes I think the parachute store is original. The area behind it is where the two boats are adjacent to the car park. Not sure where tha barrack blocs were in relation to it all. There is a workshop type building next to the parachute store.

    LOL, hard to believe there's a General Sevice Shed under that lot!

    Love the Wapiti shots, imagine peering out between the window netting of your suburban semi and seeing one of those on finals!

    Nice to see all those lovely aeroplanes crammed together so you can't actually see them as a whole.

    I thought it was one of those inflatable structures held up with positive air pressure.

    There is an interesting podcast on the museums website talking about finding a location for an Aeronautical Museum for the RAF.
