Thank you John, It had the look of a MOD Training/Firing range. So just had to circle the establishments on Google Earth and look where the blue street view lines finished abruptly.  :)


Struggling a bit with suitable pics, so the next ones a bit different. Name any of the streets within the view or the notable establishment.

Would that be a gateway to the MOD Camp at Lydd?

Yes, Shoot999 - I believe it's still a current MOD site.

Well done John Walker.
                                Your diligent persistence paid off .The next clue was a well used B road.
                                It is a friend of mines .The huts were moved there at the end of WW1 by a Farmer and were used as storage and animal sheds. He bought them both it in a dilapidated state back in the 1960's and after a battle with the planners made the 2 semi detached bungalows from the huts. Sold one and has lived in the one shown ever since.
Back to you once again. :)

I could only think of two airfields that fitted the bill - Lydd and Lympne.  Searched the hell out of both of them,  then went back to the Lydd area.  The single white line helped as the only road I could find near Lympne was the main A20.
