Pictured on a wet day (apologies for the rain spots on the lens) through the gate at the entrance here. The events of December 2005 and subsequently are well documented ('buncefield oil depot' produces 16,700 hits on Google). There wasn't much activity in evidence at the time of my fleeting visit. The presence of a life-belt indicates the presence of open water tanks, best seen on Planning Portal.
