Remote Hardstandings

When we were busy getting Perranporth back into shape (and fighting the local council off at the same time) a local military trust came up one day for a look around with a good selection of ww2 jeeps and other assorted machines.
Having been shown the blast pens and underground battle hq they were slightly disappointed that we did not have an aircraft gun butts on site.
Using this as an excuse to get in more “jeep” time i took the convoy (about 10 trucks) down to a remote “pan handle” that faced the sea and had no obvious purpose.
Explaining that this “MAY” have been used for testing guns was good enough for a detector to be produced and within a couple of minutes piles of 20mm canon case were being produced.
This provided quite enough excitement for one day so i held back on the “buried merlins joke”.
It was only last year that i came across a complete spigot mortar site on Kenley airfield (in a wooded area now private)
