GE shows
TBD still there in the January 2006 imagery, but gone by March 2008. The same period saw the demolition of most of the other buildings on the West Base.
TBD's removal must have left a huge hole to be filled, because below ground level there was a gallery running the entire length of the building. In my time there it seemed to be used mainly for storing spare engines and for important stuff like my overall locker.
