The Motor Books link does specifically mention dispersed sites on one of the two Little Staughton plans available.

Serves me right for not reading that then doesn’t it?

After the Battle used to sell airfield plans too – may be quicker – email [email]hq@afterthebattle.com[/email]

Edit – looks like they don’t any more – try here:

Unfortunately, the ATB plans don’t cover the dispersed sites though, just the airfield. Having said that, what you do get are of superb quality. I got some of mine from Motor Books and they’re very reasonably priced, too.

thanks guys i will try hendon rgds paul

Paul,

Whenever I have ordered plans from Hendon, it has taken about three weeks for them to arrive. Cost has been about £6 for a set of plans (each set has contained more than one sheet).

Best wishes

Hi Paul,

Yep, Steve P is right – the RAF Musuem at Hendon should hold the Record Site Plan. They’re about two quid each. Mind you, don’t expect one by return of post as they can sometimes take up to a month or so; it’s a busy department! Also, it should be noted that the quality can vary. Many of these plans are now held on microfilm only. You might want to visit this page for further details RAF Musuem Archives

Good luck.

The RAF Museum may have a copy of the plan. If so, they will sell you a photocopy.
