Mighty Q
Totally agree, the majority of barrack blocks are sub standard and no doubt will be replaced by SLAM ( long overdue). The hangars are exactly that, not workshops or classrooms. The whole Station heating system is on the verge of collapse and leaks like a sieve, looks more like downtown Manhattan in winter than an RAF Camp.
Barrack Blocks, agree. They could be better (much) and in the main need knocking down, in some cases the occupants have tried to help with that...
Hangers, big open spaces with lots of potential. Don't forget, not all tech training is done in a standard class room. There's not much hope of fitting a MBT or it's like in your standard class room is there? (REME are 'due' to be one of the first through the door btw).
So the whole Station Heating System is on the verge of collapse is it? Don't think so matey, theres worse out there believe me. The HTHW system around the tech site has had a lot of pipe work replaced over the last few years and following this years Boiler House Maint will be in good order, the same for the LTHW around the domestic site.
Histroically, any system of that age will have had it's issues, all of which are/have been dealt with when identified and funded.
All told the site is in pretty good order and conditionally (apart from some SLA) always was much better than Brize was when the decision was made to move the Hercs over.
