    RAF Buildings?

    I have done countless searchs, with no useable results, so...

    Does anyone have drawings, or photos, that they would be willing to share, of these buildings.

    1. Main Store A/M drg. no. 4287/35
    2. Main Workshops A/M drg. no. 4923/35
    3. Works ser. bldg and gas defence A/M drg. no. 3666/38

    If you can help, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!

    Appreciate that!

    But, no tango. The site actually opened for me, but when I started navigating on it, my computer locked up!

    I'll try later, on my other-half's computer.

    RAF Museum Building Plans

    The RAF Museum has many of these drawings on microfiche with paper copies available at a reasonable cost. They may have the particular building plans you require.

    link here: https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/researc...-drawings.aspx

    Paul Francis of the ARG did elevations of Main Store 7064/37 in his book British Military Airfield Architecture. I have a scan of this section if useful.
    The ARG now have a £10 annual membership to access many of the most useful information sections. Plans of the AMWD (including Gas Defence) building 8556/37 were on the site some years ago and I see I have copies.

    I have 3 pics of the Main Workshops found online over the years which I will try to attach.

    Greatly appreciated, flashgordon!

    Thanks for the photos! I found a few useable photos, on my reseaching, yesterday also. Sure thing, anything your willing to share. Those three buildings are at Bassingbourn, too. Have the buildings made, but not textured, yet.

    Doesn't help much, with my poor internet connection. Only get 25% of the pages to open. Gotta work on that.
