    This is the wartime airfield Battle HQ of RAF Ibsley. Most WW2 airfields had them, it was where operations would have been conducted in the event of a German invasion and the airfield overrun by enemy forces. It is unique in having twin observation cupolas offering a 360 degree view of the outside world through the narrow slit around them. Inside would be the main room for the defence officer, a messengers room and a telephone exchange, or PBX. Toilet facilities were primitive, just an Elsan chemical toilet. Surrounding the BHQ can be seen the remains of a defensive trench, and gun pits (large drainpipes sunk into the ground).

      @@lukeoxford Reading mostly, and the internet of course, searching for info. on specific places, and the Pillbox Study Group Forum www.tapatalk.com/groups/pillboxstudygroup/index.php . All mostly borrowed from other people's knowledge! Lol. Another useful website is Atlantikwall, particularly the section on UK RAF airfields: www.atlantikwall.co.uk/# (click on the Menu and choose "Great Britain"). Cheers!
