The same view photographed in 2001. Note how the buildings have been rejuvenated by the private enterprises now putting them to good use.

Eastern taxi-way leading up to Rivenhall’s main runway 10-28. To the right would have been more loop type aircraft hardstands to the back of Allshot’s Farm and the base sick quarters.

These two buildings stand close to the site of the control tower. To the left, a store for the hydrogen & Nitrogen bottles used for weather balloons. To the right, a store for the floodlight trailer and its tractor tug. © Paul Clouting
