Looks very second-rate compared to the streamlined and very tidy Hitachi works.

I've had a look at various sheds near the railway at Sittingbourne and I agree they are very similar. However, it's not Sittingbourne. Too far to the north west.

I still think I have seen them from the railway line. Sittingbourne, next to the A2?

On the edge of a large town. Close to a river, a railway line and a busy 'A' Road.

Too far north west (ish) DTT.
Going back to Ramsgate. My Grandad thought it was too dangerous for the family to stay in Ramsgate as it was so near to Manston so he moved them to Canterbury!!! An HE bomb landed a few hundred yards from the font of the house. The front door ended up in the back scullery and the roof was wrecked. Fortunately they had gone over to the communal shelter that night. They were moved to the countryside near Faygate, Sussex. My Grandfather, Flight Sargent James Baxter Roger had been posted to RAF Faygate, West Sussex. The centre for crashed aircraft recovery.
Number 49 Maintenance Unit operated at RAF Faygate from 3 November 1940 until 13 February 1946. Prior to the former date it was No. 1 Salvage Centre and on the latter date it relocated to Lasham. Between these dates it processed, it is said, the lion's share of the Allied and German aircraft that crashed in south east England.
