Full Description
An aerial photograph analysis in 2013 found evidence of a probable Second World War building and blast wall. This and nearby features may be associated with navigation to the airfield or the operation of the airfield’s FIDO system. These features appear to have been constructed in c.1944. There are now no above ground traces of these features.(1)
An electricity sub station (Mechanical and Electrical Plinth, RAF Manston) of Second World War date was seen as a structure in US/7PH/GP/LOC286 V 5010 19-APR-1944. It was recorded as a demolished structure in Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021 and was mapped as part of the Historic England Isle of Thanet project in 2024. (2-3)
