Stanton or not Stanton?

At the museum part of East Fortune airfield there is a surviving air raid shelter. This looks like a Stanton, but there are some differences from what I believe defines a Stanton and wondered if anyone can confirm if this indeed a Stanton shelter, or if it is a different type. If so, what is it?

• The side are not vertical at the base, by slightly sloping inwards.
• The sections are not bolted together.
• There are entrance/exits at each end, rather than one entrance/exit and an emergency exit shaft at the opposite end.
  
  Any information on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks. I agree that the issue is that the term Stanton is used to refer to more types than are actually Stantons. However, there are enough differences that make me wonder if it is from a different manufacturer or perhaps just a sub-type. The fact this shelter does not have the standard emergency exit shaft would perhaps suggest it is not a Stanton at all, at least not a standard one. I don't know enough about different airfield air raid shelters, and hope someone here may be able to provide a definitive answer.

Thanks. I have, and there's nothing in there that is an exact match.

Paul,

Thanks, but can you elaborate? I do, of course, have a copy of your excellent book, but couldn't see anything in there that is an exact match. There is the Stanton Commercial Version which does indeed have two entrance/exits rather than one emergency exit (plan on page 204), but the shelter at East Fortune doesn't have vertical sides nor are the sections bolted together. Is it still a Stanton, because my understanding is that Stantons are vertical at floor level, which this shelter isn't?

It looks like a Trollope commercial.

Thanks, but a Trollope has continually curved sides. This has very straight sides, only curving at the very top. I don't think it can be a Trollope but it is different from standard Stanton shelters too.
