Napier Barracks

This photograph is from inside Napier Barracks and is published by kind permission of Bernhard Weiss who runs the "Fliegerhorste" (Air- Stations) web site. [url=http://members.aol.com/fliegerhorste/fliegerhorste.htm]Fliegerhorste[/url]
After handover to the German authorities, work began to dig up the old airstrip and remove pre war munitions. These photographs depict Napier Barracks, Dortmund after the British Forces had left. I was stationed here for a very short time with 12 Air Defence Regiment RA.
If you recognise the area shown in this photo please let us know.
This is the Training wing and 12 Battery battery offices I believe. I find these pictures shocking. I can't believe that this is what has become of Napier. I spent many a year in Napier T & 9 Bty and loved the place...well almost!
