World War II defences

As an important aircraft manufacturing facility, various defences were added during World War II. Some of these survive inside the museum site, including a unique design of hexagonal pillbox 51.355502°N 0.464859°W / 51.355502; -0.464859 in the Paddock, a Bofors gun platform 51.355542°N 0.461715°W / 51.355542; -0.461715 built at the top of Members Hill, and three brick-built semi-underground air raid shelters built into the Members' Banking section of track, 51.356279°N 0.462161°W / 51.356279; -0.462161 (east), 51.356162°N 0.461892°W / 51.356162; -0.461892 (middle), 51.356032°N 0.461673°W / 51.356032; -0.461673 (west), which is at the rear of Members' Hill. These shelters were built in late 1940 when a hangar was built into the adjacent banked track and used as a well-camouflaged dispersed production facility for Vickers Wellington and later Warwick aircraft.
