Airfield Bombing Decoy (Q and K site): EDoB ID: e18478

A wartime control bunker for a bombing decoy that simulated the activities of a military airfield by both day and night time is located east of Woodbury. One of at least three such decoys in the area (this is the only one surviving), their parent station was RAF Exeter, and all three sites would have been manned by its personnel.
