The 'Class 6' was part of the USAF supply system and it was certain items that were controlled. This building was used to issue rations of Cigarettes and Alcohol to the GI's stationed at Sculthorpe, for those who didn't drink or smoke they were able to trade them for other items. After the base closed the building was turned into a fast food takeaway but this was unsuccessful and it closed after about a year.
