Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Q site night bombing decoy. Near Formby at Downholland Moss the remains of control shelter for a Q site still stand. Q sites were night bombing decoys. This one was built to decoy RAF Woodvale further up the coast. The Q site itself was almost one and a half miles long and was intended to represent an airfield at night and consisted of a dummy flarepath for landing aircraft and a v-shaped approach funnel. The centre arrow shows where a car headlight was located that was rotated to simulate a taxiing aircraft. The arrow on the right shows the remains of a blast wall, now collapsed.
