- Machine Gun Post: DoB ID: e28548 On the corner of a hangar buttress is a Light Anti-Aircraft machine gun post, part of the airfield defences of RAF Hooton Park. Originally the tower was a WWI era Bomb Target Training Tower that was converted into a LAA post during the Second World War. The different style of brickwork of the open four walls of the LAA post at the top can clearly be seen. Image
