Disused buildings fascinate me and this, now planted between open ground and new development fascinated me greatly when I first saw it on 1 September 2014 . In truth, with its unusual but tell-tale control tower structure at one end, it did not take much to deduce that this was part of the former RNAS Portland. This building at the then HMS Osprey (closed 1999) did incorporate the control tower and now stands awaiting an uncertain future. 200_2_P1000186

This view across Portland Harbour towards Weymouth takes in the former RNAS Portland (closed 1999). The closed runway 03/21 is central to the picture and the helipad of the HM Coastguard Search and Rescue Station can also be seen. 200_P1050632

Disused buildings fascinate me and this, now planted between open ground and visibly new development fascinated me greatly. In truth, with its unusual but tell-tale control tower structure at one end, it did not take much to deduce that this was part of the former RNAS Portland. This building at the then HMS Osprey (closed 1999) did incorporate the control tower and contrasts sharply with the the modern residences behind. 200_P1050627
