Any idea what this building was?

This is the hut very close to Dobbs Lane.
If my memory serves me correctly, its post-war and it function was as a generator room for powering landing light experiments.

Yes, looks like a smaller Standby Set House, it housed the diesel generator and dynamo to power vital airfield/station electrical services in times of mains power failure.
You can see the generator bed blocks in the floor.

My cousin was asking as he lives nearby & has this website:
