Yes working conditions at the bomb dump were not that great but I only did it for a few weeks and I take my hat off to these bods who worked there year after year for six years.
So far as the nissan huts were concerned they were basic in design usually with a concrete floor and a potbellied stove in the centre. Usually the fuel supply was pretty meagre and lots of scavenging had to be done to keep the supply up. I leave that to your imagination.
The stove then became the focal point of the hut with the inmates crowding round it to keep warm. We did use the hut for more than sleeping, that was were most writing letters, reading etc was done otherwise it was down to the Naafi or Sallyann.
Waiting time between courses was a bind and yes frustration did set in and eventually we all became a bit bolshie but kicking over the traces was self defeating as you were always on a sticky wicket and open to punishment.
