That's unusual Rich and in very good nick.I assume the upright poles were for a camouflage net but what on earth is the large diameter angled pipe in picture 2.It's amazing that such a large structure has only recently been discovered,makes you wonder what else is out there.

The poles on the top were where the light for imitating taxiing aircraft was mounted with a guard rail around it not sure about the pipes function though unless its some sort of air vent.By the way apologies for being late for your breakfast fix mate

There is a google earth file that has the location of every WW2 era remnant in the country marked on it...

It is compiled by cptpies (who is a member here), and can be found here.
