Doe anyone no what's inside this as it's completely sealed.

I take it these are for trench training.

Trench training no, they are above ground air raid shelters - designed to protect ground crew from blasts and strafing if the airfield were to be attacked by German air raids.

The sealed building looks like a generator building to me.

Blast shelters - trench air raid shelter that was cover against bomb fragments and strafing that allowed the occupiers to fire at targets in the air like paratroops - would have had an earth embankment
 
Your sealed building was a standby-set house and is now used for storage.

Originally it housed two emergency generators and associated switchgear.
