RAF Bentwaters RAF Woodbridge - Reunion Plans and Reports

RAF Woodbridge by Linn Barringer

April 2000

RAF Woodbridge - Nissen huts are just across the road from the Housing Office.

These Nissen huts are just across the road from the Housing Office. They are just inside the perimeter fence which runs parallel to, and just beyond, the far hut. David Strieter adds "...the two huts in your recent Woodbridge pictures [across from the housing office] were the Officers club annex for Woodbridge. At that time there was an ungated entry [to the right of the huts] from the public road to the parking area.
