Armament and Inspection Building

Although this building is in obvious need of restoration, it has historic significance. As shown on the drawing below, there was originally a security fence around the building, no doubt due to the sensitive nature of the Norden bombsights and weapons stored there.

Designated as building 804, it was constructed in 1943.

Originally a group of buildings, all that remain are buildings #804 and #809, the original tank-house, which is now part of the church building located to the east and slightly north of the armament building.
