Yes BAE have their enviro test facility located within the complex,
but that is still only a small section of the site. Fraz13, a certain
section of the goverment still owns most of it.
The development into houses in the area, is a very bad idea
given the ground contamination. A massive housing development
would destory the village. Given all the digging involved a lot
of contaminents would enter the environment, thus best left
undisturbed.
From my own knowledge our building was located on the border
of the 3 production sections. I have the building code number
for our square Mayan Temple, but as far as I'm led to have
been informed the numbers -> "production" are still way off limits.
The strange thing is you can see the multiple production stages
for Nitroglycerin, but this building is one of a kind and given the
blast protection, has me puzzled.
If I had to take a stab at what might have been produced there,
would more or less say highly volatile rocket propellant. There
might be a Rolls Royce connection
