If there is one thing I have learnt since joining this forum and that is never to mention and hutting by name. Search for 'Maycrete' on the forum and you will see what I mean :)
To make matters worse sometimes the most commonly used names or terms are incorrect but when you use the correct one nobody knows what you are talking about!

In the absense of anything else, then Quetta is fine. I was curious as to where you got the name from - thats all.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Its simple, I appear to have a copy of your book on my shelves, although I have seen it mentioned in others. Were you the first to coin the phrase?

I had always known them as Quetta Huts too!

Anyway, according to norwichpaul on this thread here;
/community/showthread.php?504-Quetta-Huts

Two survive at the bomb dump at Middle Wallop and one is extant at Andover by the railway bridge close to the airfield. A framework is extant at Worthy Down. They were used for accommodation huts by the RAF Regiment or arrmy LAA units.


Anyway, welcome to the forum Aeronut and I look forward to seeing some photos of the aforementioned hut!

Yes guilty as charged, unless you want to call it a duodecagonal concrete hut or the JH De W Waller circular hut which wwere the alternatives.
