I'm glad this post re-emerged!

No it's not digger land, it's now an industrial estate, just next to the Columpton services as you come off the roundabout.


My apologies. I don't often use Cullompton services, but I know the spot you mean. May have been a "Reception Camp".

Re the Exeter ROC building, it was covered by the Subbrit group HERE some years ago, and stands in the grounds of Poltimore House. It has been used for a short while for paintballing.

Is THIS the US Navy Supply Depot you were referring to? More on JOWL-93.

Got to be here :confused:.

We seem to be going round in circles a bit here - I thought the ops block thing had been answered in post 12?

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

I know the sector and ROC ops blocks as they are very well known and visible.
The building I refer to is red brick and lies about quater of a mile further up the M5 right next to its northern edge.

All I can see from various maps and photos is what looks like a farm building. Opposite side of the motorway from the the piggery?

We appear to be going over old ground, MM see post #11

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

I'm not going around in circles and I'm not covering old ground, please read my posts more accurately.
I have taken that info on board NP, but I'm posting a more accurate position of said building, plus your answer didn't seem 100% positive, and I was just wondering if there were any further ideas etc - will settle for transmitter station.

Caught a glimse from the passing coach of a white-painted single-storeyed building at a position close to the road that passes Poltimore House. It certainly appeared to be of contemporary construction to the original airfield structure at the airfield.
