A brick aircraft posts stands in the north east corner of the compound. It is approximately 9’ X 9’ and divided into three rooms with a corrugated section, perhaps a toilet, that appears to be a later addition. The 6’ X 6’ aircraft observation room has a large circular opening in the roof. The building probably dates from 1940. |
