Matlaske OB and Auxiliary Unitby Jeremy Norman
(as far is known) W.Seaman
The site is located in private woodland, close to the boundary of the Parishes of Matlaske and Wolterton. The OB was constructed by the Unit themselves and materials were reportedly, corrugated sheet and thick timbers with possible use of an Anderson Shelter within the excavated site. No substantial materials remain and the OB shows as a sunken outline From it’s siting, assumed targets would possibly have been Matlaske Airfield (within one mile); Oulton Airfield (within three miles); Wolterton Hall or Barningham Hall (if used as Military HQ sites)Detailed research continues around this patrol.
John Seaman, Hedley Smith, Donald March. Grateful thanks to the land owner for allowing access.
