The Glasgow Army Airfield Norden Bombsight Vault was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
It is a one-story 16.5 by 13 feet (5.0 m × 4.0 m) concrete shed with an 11 by 6 feet (3.4 m × 1.8 m) projection that has 8 inches (0.20 m)-thick walls and a poured concrete floor. It protected Norden bombsights at the Glasgow Army Air Field during World War II. The bombsights were top-secret and were used on B-29 bombers. It had steel vault doors which have been removed.[2]
