Bardney

Continuing from the photos above....

These last three are of an unknown Air Raid Shelter type structure off a lane to the east of Bardney airfield, DofB lists it as the Battle Headquarters which it clearly isn't, for one its too far from the airfield! Any ideas?

The BHQ at Bardney was to the East of the airfield but not as far out as the shelter on the decoy site at Gautby which I think is what your photos show.

I agree with tigger, that's the Gautby Decoy Control Bunker it can be seen in Street View:

Well spotted John.

I checked GE recently to see how the place has changed. The blast walls on all three pads have now been cleared but why one pad has been exhumed I dunno.

Hi all
I'm trying to tie up a few last locations for Battle headquarters.
I'v got the site plan but there is nothing listed but the EH Pastscape
Data base says the BHQ is in an open field to the east of the airfield
But this looks like as tigger says the decoy bunker, heres the kicker
Pastscape gives the OS grid REF as TF14840 71462 which puts it
Just off the airfield site to the east in the woods.

Does anybody have any better info to its location, it looks like there
Is a footpath that runs thought the woodlands but any further help
Would be good, I don't want to spend hours crashing through woods
Only to come up empty.
