After I found the SSA (secondary storage area) at Greenham commom a few months back I got to wondering if any other bases had them, so after a good old bit google mappage,
bingo RAF/USAF Mildenhall, this is a derelict site but it`s still in US hands (soon to be sold), multiple fences, lots of barbed wire, a 15 foot wide water fill ditch one side.

The local nick name for this part of the base is area 300, thats only because the building are numbered from
300 up to 320 (this does not include the cranes or the EWS tanks.

There are 6 cranes on site and a number of nissen huts but these also have steel blast doors.

Enjoy.......

It's been derelict for years, I saw a report by the US DoD that they are selling the site off, they may have already
Done that, it's in good nick because it's miles from anywhere and all the fences and CCTV warning blar blar just scare most people off, there are new gates, with in the last 6 years to stop fly tipping, I think it was last used for staff training, dog handling etc.
 
Excellent stuff..I often go mildenhall and lakenheath to watch the f-15 s fly in and out and the Hercules and various others based at mildenhall.and never knew this was here..great stuff.
 
Do you have a legend for the building numbers, 300-320, I'd love to know what they were all used for.

I'll have a look when I get back to the Archive in the week.

You've already done Greenham and the 'Hall, so here are other five 1950s SAC bomb dumps in the UK.

Brize Norton: Still in service use
Lakenheath: Still in service use
Fairford: Still in service use
Sculthorpe: Still (technically) in service use
Upper Heyford: Pretty much overbuilt by later ordnance storage bunkers

:)
 
Cheers Mr B
Think I'll give the first 4 on your list a bit of a miss as I don't fancy a cavity scearch.
