| 説明 | OS GB Grid Reference: SO 893 216Extended Defence of Britain Ref: e02976A pentagonal pillbox at the RAF Staverton, now in private use as Gloucestershire Airport. Located to the east of the airfield on agricultural land.I have not been able to find a known pattern for this box, as it has four sides with loopholes, and a rear wall without; but there is an attached (possible) light anti-aircraft section or open emplacement, similar to a Type 23. Inside is flooded, but the water level is low. A wooden firing shelf remains, all the way around. The four small loopholes have steel shuttering in place to reduce the opening even further. There is a second shutter on each loophole that can be opened or closed by the firer inside. I have not seen this before. The interior retains a lot of great features.The pillbox is entered from the exterior LAA post through a very small doorway! There are steel steps on the inside of the LAA emplacement to assist getting in and out, and there are two mounting holes in the emplacement wall suggesting an external ladder may have been present. |
