This thread resulted from a comment in the
200yd Moving Target Range entry by PeterTheEater
I've spent a lot of time trying to ID the locations of following in Air Publication 3236, AKA 'Works', which several member of Aix now own.
Hospital Extensions - page65
1) Balloon Depot - p67
2) Range - p74
3) Airfield - p80 - St Eval
4) Airfield - p248
5) Airfield - p249
6) Airfield - p250 - !?
7) Airfield(s) p252 (stated to be an AMES; since when did radar stations have runways and dispersals?)
7a) Airfield - p254
9) Bomb Store p260-6 believed to be Harpur Hill
10) Airfield - p546
11) Airfield - p548
12) ID Panel - p555 - Ballyhalbert?
13) Flying Boat Base - p564
14) ELG Panel - p569 - Woodbridge
I've found some of these in the past, but have forgotten most. Should keep PNK and PTE busy for a few hours

Why is there a 7a) in the above list? Ans: Cos when I used an '8' a cool smiley face appeared like this
Wierd!
Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite

Page 74 - The range shown is Pembrey
Page 248 is Stanstead Mountfitchet
Page 249 is Kinnel
Page 254 - Agree with PNK, Ibsley
Page 260-266 shows Harpur Hill as you suggest.
Those I already had sussed; I shall rise to the challenge and see what else I can find.
888 - Hey! Where's my smileys?

250 is Drem
252 is a model that may be generic?
546 Snaith?

Some superb work guys. Here's where (I think) we are:
Hospital Extensions - p65 - ??
Balloon Depot - p67 - ??
Range - p74 -Pembrey
Airfield - p80 - St Eval
Airfield - p248 - Stansted
Airfield - p249 - Kinnel
Airfield - p250 - Drem
Airfield(s) p252 ??
Airfield - p254 - Ibsley
Bomb Store p260-6 Harpur Hill
Airfield - p546 - Snaith
Airfield - p548 - Stanton Harcourt
ID Panel - p555 - Ballyhalbert ??
Flying Boat Base - p564 (Alness / Pembroke Dock perhaps ??)
ELG Panel - p569 - Woodbridge
Now:
What was the '240 - Milfield' PNK ?
For some reason I had the feeling that some photo / drawing in this document featured Sleap ? !
Regarding the 252 'Airfield with the caption AMES I should have spotted this - it is a cunning plot to disguise a radar station as a military airfield so the enemy will show no interest in it!
PTE - You get smileys when you have an '8 ' followed immediately by a ') '

Sorry it should be 249 and Kinnel looks to be correct. I didn't notice the shortfall in the runway department!!
