What would appear to be the bomb or torpedo store is situated on the E side of the airfield and which is visible on vertical air photographs taken in 1947 (CPE/Scot/UK 218, 3201-3204, flown 25 June 1947).
The air photographs show that the bomb store extends in a north-easterly direction from the eastern perimeter trackway for about 360-400m. Four large earth banked bays can be seen along with four smaller structures all connected to the perimeter track of the airfield by concrete or tarmac roads.
Nothing can be seen of the trackways or earth banked bays on vertical air photographs taken in 1988 (All Scotland Survey [Jasair], 51788 206-207, flown 24 June 1988) in the area noted above.
