Complete random gamble earlier this year this one, not the easiest place as since last reports half the sheds have been (very tastefully) been turned into a riding school & a live house flanks the other side of the site.
Camp 278 was a German Working Camp run by the War Department.
Im not sure if these buildings are original, I read somewhere they were rebuilt to house workers while building the nearby Thurleigh wind tunnels. but cant find a lot of other history.
One thing for sure whats inside seems to be genuine wartime surplus materials. There is literally thousands of electrical parts, radio valves, handsets you name it its prob there.
Along with newer items the current owner is clearly storing there. As always there is quite a few pics so Ill get on with them
Its like Buzzby's wet dream in here, boxes of military handsets
Part sent for repair 1959, still labled & wrapped up
Random grave stone.
Thanks For Looking
