Most of the RAF Docking's domestic accommodation and communal facilities were situated remote from the airfield along the Docking to Brancaster road shown to the west of the airfield. Most of The technical facilities were situated close to Sunderland House. A railway line, a branch line between Heacham and Wells, and a minor road to Burnham Market passed along the southern perimeter of the airfield.
