With reference to the wartime use of Abbeyford Woods...
There was an airfield at Folley Gate before and during the last war (
http://devonairfields.tripod.com/folly.html ) and I had always assumed (dangerous, I know :-) ) that the buildings in the woods were a dispersed domestic site. I freely confess that I have no proof of this; I just knew of the airfield and the buildings, apart from the two larger ones, seemed like the usual Maycrete structures. I'd be very interested to hear more about this. Anyone?
Cheers,
Chris
