The airfield is now used as the main training establishment for firefighters in the UK. To help with that the place is littered with test buildings, vehicles and even aircraft, all of which are used during training for various scenarios. Note the underlined X markings at each runway threshold, indicating that it's not a good idea to land on them due to the multiple obstructions!
