Hi brataccas.....interesting footage, those buildings have been in use after WW2, I am ex RAF, (joined in 1976) and the whole place reeks of the 1970s, the servicing chart for the 'MATELO' is very familiar to me for example, not sure what it was but that servicing chart was standard for all kinds of vehicles and airfield equipment as a quick referance for when maintenance was due, all the signage looks post war....the H&S notice is the big give away....can you reveal the location ? if so that would possibly provide clues as to what went on there............the entry doors to the main large room are quite small so I'm guessing it was a servicing facility for some type of portable equipment, the warning notice about PCBs could refer to powerful degreasents which I can remember using during my service..... Toluene was one common one...............facinating place, I love old buildings like these.
