Alan Williams Turret, Finchingfield

Can anyone tell me more precisely in Finchingfield where the Alan Williams Turret was sited please? I asked after Pete Truman in the village PO but understand he has moved to Braintree, which is where I live. Thank you.

I lived in Finchingfield for many years until recently and up the bridle path beside my house was a very interesting underground steel turret.
It seemed to have been used as a depositorey for peoples garden rubbish for years.
A few years ago in a blaze of local publicity, it was ‘rescued’ for restoration by a local joiner, but seems to have sat in bits in his yard ever since.
I did contact Duxford a while ago, but they didn’t seem very interested at the time, though, when I was walking round the hangars at the BBMF ‘Do’ I noticed an identical one on display.
As far as I know, it was used by the local Home Guard, whether this was inconjunction with nearby Wethersfield airfield, I don’t know.
It does have some aviation history because I think that the blokes manning it captured the crew of the Dornier that was shot down nearby, probably also went looking for the crew of the Wellington that crash landed in nearby fields, who thought they were in occupied Holland and hid in a ditch for 24 hours.
Perhaps the bloke who aquired it hasn’t got the time to do anything and may be prepared to donate it to some organisation that will, I happen to know he’s a nice bloke so who knows.
I won’t put out his name on here, if you are interested, PM me and I’ll let you know.
