No Amount Of Evidence Will Ever Persuade An Idiot (probably not Mark Twain)
I thought I would look at the 1940 Luce Bay range map on the Defence Estates Byelaw pages to see if was mentioned. Alas the map is almost unreadable. My next thought was that it might be on the fringes of the range area. Another 30 miles of coast to check!

I would have expected it to be located near or on the Luce Bay (Sands) Range area adjacent to the airfield to simplify logistics. It ought to have had the semi permanent turret building rather than using mobile turrets on the back of trucks.
As Carnaby has said, after hours of looking at coastal sands you begin to see shapes that fit the bill (or not!)
I am wearing my stupid hat today, you reckon Towyn should not be on your list, I would tend to agree as I thought it had always been an Army camp. So what it the Towyn camp in one of your early posts on this thread?
