Pillbox by the side of Wheeler's Lane
Largely hidden beneath the brambles and forming part of the old airfield defences, a type I don't recognise.
I am now told that this is a control centre for co-ordinating the defence of the airfield rather than a simple pillbox. The structure is largely subterranean, consisting of two separate "rooms" and the observation cupola which is the bit shown in the photograph. This type of fortification was apparently entered via a trap door at ground level but any evidence of such an entrance is now buried under a mound of earth and prickly vegetation.

Memorial to 75th Home Defence squadron at Elmswell
I have been requested not to reveal the exact coordinates of the memorial of the memorial by the landowner as it is on private land.
There is a public road not that far away which in my opinion would have been a much better location for a memorial which could then be visited by all who wish to pay their respects.
The plaque can be seen here
