RAF UPPER HEYFORD 55TH TAC FiGHTER SQUADRON HARDENED OPS BUNKER MAY-2011 REPORT
On the flying field there are several buildings that are now occupied by small industries:thumb One such building is the former HQ of the 55th Tactical Fighter Squadron.
Most of the buidings on site have been empty since the USAF pulled out in 1994:( and have fallen into a bad state of disrepair.
This building however has been occupied more or less since it changed into civilian hands. And because of this has been maintained to an excellent standard and contains a lot of original equipment which is still in situ.

Some nice Wall Art still exists in the building and is well maintained and respected by the occupying company:thumb
