I guessed you mean’t Knettishall. 😉

Honnington?

Is Barnham shown? possiblty renamed?

Barnham was never an airfield, It was just a bomb store that was built early fifties.

Possible, there were five ‘C’ types originally. Like you say I hope the art deco style control tower will survive.

Yes there were 5 C type hangars once.

I forgot to mention that as it only ever had steel matting for the three runways you won’t see any sign of them on google earth.

It is home to the Joint analysis centre now.

The plot thickens…

If the archaeologists were doing a site investigation, then I suspect that they were not digging that deep (though I know nothing of the local geography/geology). Bet they moved a bit sharpish when they realised what they were scraping with the trowel! 😮

If there were two bombs close together and close to the surface, I wonder whether they were simply “mislaid” and got covered in rubbish at some point afterwards, perhaps buried by later landscaping? Of course as Colin says they may have been hang-ups that finally fell off, so the two may be together by chance. Just wish they’d say a bit more about them!

I wouldn’t worry too much, I have worked with some of those archaeologists probably before and they don’t do things too swiftly. It took a week to uncover a grave containing a horse and a soldier after i had found it for them at Lakenheath.

It appear that they have taken the plaques as well !

Sadly this is increasingly becoming a common event.

Perhaps you need to read post no.8 again. Said by someone who should know.;)

I wonder with the EEP script if they are Lightning overwing tanks?

Yes they would seem to be from lightnings, I guess the writing on them is a good clue as it would be upside down if they were underwing tanks.
