Full Description

A canteen was noted by ARCH's Evanton Wartime Remains project in 2013. Wartime plans show the location of a large H-shaped complex of buildings serving as a canteen in the eastern sawmill area of the Evanton airfield B camp. The remains were buried under rubble by 2013. The 1946 aerial photos showed that the two wings were nissen-style buildings. <1>
