The Air Ministry Bombing Teacher building was for bomb aiming practice and training of aircraft bomb aimers. It appears to have since been converted to a private dwelling. For a full description of the operation of this and other sythetic trainers see https://www.historyofsimulation.com/flexible-gunnery-simulators/ https://media.geograph.org.uk/files/7eabe3a1649ffa2b3ff8c02ebfd5659f/vickers_bygrave_orig-original.jpg Image
