According to the following news item on BBC Norfolk http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-24490375 a former “World War II training dome” at RAF Langham is to be saved – thanks to EH and the HLF. 🙂

and, of course, there’s the well known example at Shoreham.

We have one on base at Mildenhall – with a very nice sign outside explaining its original purpose.

That’s very good news. A rare piece of history.
By coincidence we in Wolverhampton have/had (I don’t know if it’s gone yet) another simulation training aid a mile or so away at Perton. It is a tall shed from which bomb aimers hung from the ceiling over large scale images of targets to practice. I don’t know how common these are.
