Thanks for the replies on this one, where exactly was the Station 382 depot? Constitution Hill in Sudbury is not the place I was asking about but if there is much of it left it would be worth a visit down there again.

I am stuck on this site I photographed at Acton, I can find any records of it anywhere.

I took some photos of the one at Breighton the other day, a very special aircraft. Alex Henshaw even signed the aircraft!

5 photos can be found here http://www.richardflagg.fotopic.net/c1487789.html

If anyone is interested, I took a few photos of the site I asked about in my first post and they are here, http://www.airfields.fotopic.net/c1490911_1.html – I should add that I did ask if I could take photos and was told it was ok, there is a scaffolding firm there and someone else I think now, there was also an old caravan that looked like it was still lived in parked up behind the standby generator house.

REF

Thanks for all the replies folks, the bunker think with the round concrete top is still something of a mystery, best guess is that it is a pre war Battle HQ, I have had this also suggested to me by the pillbox study group so I went for that until I can find 100% proof elsewhere. The only reason why I doubt it as being a battle HQ is the location of it, in the trees next to the officers mess, where the cross is on this flashearth link; http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=52.874599&lon=0.663523&z=19.5&r=0&src=msl

I have Roderick McKenzies book and did see that the building was listed as a gas de-contamination block on the photograph caption, but on the plan the decontamination block is listed as being elsewhere, photographed by me here; http://www.airfields.fotopic.net/p49141919.html with the same drawing number (6224 of 1937).

Stupidly the only thing I didn’t photograph was the Squash Courts having said that I must do that, even when I was there I mentioned it – but me being me, forgot!! Oh well, another visit sometime is in order then!

Thanks again

The building with the four colums is behind the Airmens Mess and N.A.A.F.I, near one of the C-type Hangars which is the wrong place for the guard room, besides Bircham still has the original Guard Room still standing (for now) here; http://www.airfields.fotopic.net/p49141829.html.

I think the white building is too small for a Standby Set House.

I do have a couple of maps for Bircham Newton but these are not marked on. I’ll do a screenshot of google earth and mark them on, may be easier.

I think you may be right about the Battle HQ, but I have never seen one like that before, further investigation required on that front.

There are two concrete square bits that could either be ventilation shafts of entrances to the bunker thing.

There are a few other bits at Bircham Newton I am not sure on which are below, can anyone help with these as well?

2 = Confirmed as a Ration Store

I’m please to hear that is going to be re-sited.

We weren’t sure if it had been stolen or not, hence the “?” at the end of the title. When you look at a closer shot of the Blenheim Propellor before and after, (below), it looks like the area has been dug up. If it had simply been moved we thought the area would have would have been tidier.

When is the Stone being moved?

Look forward to seeing them both in their new positions.

I went up to Halesworth yesterday (Saturday 8th March 2008) and found her in the same place as the last time I saw her, got a selection of photos for those who are interested.
