Both the DOB database and the BRO Museum at Parham, give the location of this patrol’s OB as being in a vineyard although their grid references differ by several hundred metres, covering two different vineyards in this area. The OB is in neither of them.
CART’s researchers for Norfolk and Suffolk have jointly located it and they offer us this report.
Our Suffolk and Norfolk researchers have added a page of info on the Dallinghoo Auxiliary Unit patrol. They were also referred to as Pettistree Patrol and Bredfield Patrol.
Sadly the OB has since been filled in but their info is interesting never the less. See more here

We have just set up two dates next year for CART members to have a complete tour of the Coleshill estate in Oxfordshire.
The land owner is the National Trust and they have kindly granted us access. They also offer around 5 tours each year but as you would expect they are not as detailed as ours.
The dates are Saturday March 10th and Saturday 6th October. Places are limited. If you would like to attend please email hq@coleshillhouse.com with your preferred date asap.
You can take a virtual tour of the site here.
More info to follow in the new year.
