I have found these reports, produced over several years, very useful to fill in some blanks and raising more questions. As an example the link below is for the one covering South Devon:
There are three pages in particular that stand out to me. (These are the PDF page numbers not the report page numbers)
Page 94 - Shows bits of the bombing ranges at Teignmouth. These were not new to me although I hadn't seen the obliques before. What was interesting was the three targets beached in the entrance to Teignmouth Harbour. Dated 1941 this implies that the range was closed and this adds further evidence to my theory that all south coast ranges were closed up until 1942/3. The odd target may have been beached for repair but not three!
Page 97 - The Aviation Fuel Depot at Brixham. I didn't check to see if this had been posted but the photo is a nice close view. Odd that EH hadn't identified it at the time.
Page 98 - Shows what at first glance at the vertiacl shot, are large fuel tanks but the oblique view shows them to have windows. I have no idea what they were.
