This second type B fighter dispersal is adjacent to the one previous, and also incorporates a LAA gun pit in one of the outer traverses. There are only two dispersal bays at Harrowbeer out of the twelve that were built that have these LAA gun positions, although four are known to have had them. The concrete hard standing for the aircraft can be seen in the middle of the asphalted area. Image
