Spittlesea

[QUOTE=vintage ATCO;9367907]R re the decontamination plant but are you sure that is the hospital? I was told this is the hospital with the building I knew as Spittlesea, the house which became the airport admin, out of shot to the left. In your pic we seem to be looking NW and that to me puts the position of the hospital out of kilter. [QUOTE]


Another good pic - someone was busy that day. The buildings in your last photo are the isolation wards - before they were demolished in 1971 you could find poison bottles and syringes lying about - wouldn't do today!


The Hospital building is out of shot on the left and that is what became Airport Admin. I'm pretty sure that as it was a three story building that is the only one that came above the skyline from the other side of the airfield.
