The bomb and ammunition store for East Fortune Airfield is situated about 600m E of the technical area. Little survives in an area of relatively recently planted trees.
The bomb store is not visible on the RAF WW II vertical air photographs, but can be seen on the postwar images (106G/SCOT/UK14, 5185-5190; 5361-5366, flown 15 April 1946), which shows several huts and two earth protected bunkers.
