Sadly,I couldn't get a better shot than this.On the far horizon,is the south western edge of a Dummy Airfield from World War2.The farther clump of trees,in image,marks the site of the real anti-aircraft gun.Before you think ,huh!dummy airfields fooled no-one,well,in 1940,a Wellington bomber returning from action over Germany,landed on the dummy airfield.It should have landed near Thetford,Norfolk about 80 miles away.The Wellington had to be dismantled and carted away to RAF Honington,where it should have landed.It is reckoned that by 1941 the enemy had realised that it was a dummy airfield.
