Various brick-built buildings survive on the site some of which are rendered. There are two open-fronted ranges with brick piers and corrugated roofs. Several single-room structures presumably for storage and two pyro stores. Blast trenches also survive constructed of brick. A Stanton shelter also survives as well as two Nissen huts with tarred brick ends. An M&E plinth survives, these served as a junction box for receiving electricity maintaining a constantly voltage so it could be safely distributed around the site. The base’s former social complex survives which incorporated a cinema and gym. (1)

Polygon based on Second Land Utilisation Survey Map (Sheet 597) c.1966, which shows a standard A-shaped bomber airfield with 3 runways in and A-plan. (2) The longest runway measuring approx. 1.6 km running roughly NE to SW, a shorter arm runs for approx. 850m E to W. The runaway running roughly N to S is approx. 1.2 km long. (1)
