RAF Driffield circa 1999/2000

Throughout the 1990s, the houses on Auchinleck Close were released for sale on the open market. These were mostly refurnished and eagerly snapped up, mostly by first time buyers. As the years have passed, some homeowners have built extensions, garages and fenced off their front gardens. Plastic uPVC windows have replaced the traditional metal frames, while the original doors have also been replace with a variety of modern designs.

The officer married quarters were sold off in the late 1970s. These fine buildings have been well maintained and are a credit to their owners. Sadly the officer's mess is in dire need of some TLC. It's difficult to predict what will happen to this structure. Although the interior has rotted away, the external brick work is in very good condition. On other sites these buildings have been converted into offices, hotels and residential care homes.
