Known as 'Colleyweston', the RAF Wittering bomb storage depot would have held 1000lb High explosive bombs and BL755 cluster bombs for the RAF, and also
a large amount of amunition for the americans based at RAF Lakenheath.
The depot was used to supply nearby RAF Wittering, home to the Number 20 (Reserve) squadron of Navy Harriers. The Harrier Display Team also flies from here.
The site comprises of a number of igloo type bunkers, a large number of 'dutch barn' type storage areas, and a variety of admin and bomb maintenance buildings.
The site has now been abandoned as there are 2 other depots supplying RAF Wittering and this is now surplus to requirements.
