former Hethersett Petroleum Storage Depot (PSD)

All of the major RAF and USAF airbases around the UK, together with key installations such as AWE Aldermaston and AWE Burghfield, are connected to large oil refineries around the coastline using a massive network of underground high pressure pipelines and Petroleum Storage Depots (PSD), referred to as the Government Pipelines and Storage System (GPSS).

This facility was principally concerned with fuel supply to the former airbase at RAF Coltishall and following the closure of that base in 2006 this facility too was deemed surplus to requirement and also closed in 2009.
