Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 'Starfish' Decoy Control Bunker on Liddington Hill. This is the control bunker for a WWII 'Starfish' bombing decoy site. 'SF' - standing for 'Special Fire'. This would have been used to control fires which would have acted as a decoy to enemy planes targeting the town of Swindon to the north.
The bunker consisted off two room off a central passage. That on the right housed generators. The control room was on the left, with a hatch in the concrete roof. At the end of corridor someone has drawn a large swastika and the name 'Hitler'. |
