WWII Hampshire - civil bombing decoy control bunker, Botley (1) -
Civil Bombing Decoy (C Series): DoB ID: e18781

Completely hidden in this patch of scrub on upland south of Botley is the control bunker for a combined 'QL' and 'SF' (Starfish) bombing decoy site. They would have provided both "leaky" lighting effects and controlled fires that simulated an urban area under attack, and was one of several such sites around Southampton that were designed to lure enemy bombers away from the city.
