Thanks Andrew. There is another bulding about 1 mile further up the A46 on the same side right by a layby it can be seen in google earth quite clearly. I forgotten about this one till Carnaby pointed it out to me which he thought was to do with the old arms/ammo/bomb dump?

This is the link to the mystery building well to the north of the airfield. Too far to be a fuel installation I feel. (Info from Ant).

It's not shown on the RSP, whereas other remote sites are.

You can see it clearly on Google Maps Street View.

Carnaby - Only just got round to reading these pages.
264 Squadron was just the other side of the valley at Colerne during 1944 so there may have been the odd detachment.

Good thinking Ray, and a belated welcome to AiX.

Just discovered there's nothing on this thread relating to the intended ROTOR constructions on this site. Visited these long before I realised what they were:

The rotor radar site at Charmy Down was only partially constructed & never completed. Hence, there is hardly any record of it's existence.
