The Buildings

The blast array stands at the eastern end of the cell with the main air inlet in the centre. Behind this is the plenum clamber but there’s no access at this level, and it is covered up at floor level.

It isn’t known if the tracks are part of the original cell design and would’ve allowed the thrust frame to be positioned, or were part of subsequent post-closure modifications of the cell for the film Sahara.
