[1] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [2] Their exact location is not provided; however, photographs taken by the RAF in 1946-8 suggest they may have been based to the south of Training Circuit C (MSO8108), at the end of Hill Road (MSO7609). A car park is shown here on the 2022 MasterMap data. [3-5]
