Abstract: |
Historic building recording of two Second World War fighter pens at the former RAF Exeter (now Airfield International Airport), Devon was undertaken prior to their demolition, and the rebuilding and upgrading of the Fire Behaviour Training Centre. The pens were two of a group of three and would have housed four of the six fighter planes in a 'flight'. The pens are of the same design (11070/40), the original type B design with two bays divided by a central spine wall that contained, at its front, a pre-cast concrete Stanton shelter. At the end of Pen 145 was a defended wall, orientated to defend against an attack from parachutists landing within the airfield. |
