You can see the track arcing away at the north end so I assume that leads to the hardstands. I will look at the OSNI site later to see if there is anything showing on the older maps.

Just had a look and the hardstands are actually shown on the present (non-historical) map
as dotted lines at 1.1nm NNE from the 20 end of 02/20 runway. The map grids are as follows
(3)10758.71 (3)79251.99 or as o/s would show J107792. I checked the photo and it matches exactly.
The white track in the top left of the airfield aerial is at the southern end of the hardstands. That was some taxying/towing to the further'est point, but I'm certain there were similar situations in many other storage sites.
