RAF HARROWBEER YELVERTON

Alun Williams Turret

  Please download Java(tm).

The Alun Williams Turret was for airfield defence. Manned by two crew members with a Lewis Gun, who entered through the (now buried) entrance tunnel which can be seen extending out to the front-left. The turret could be rotated giving a limitless field of view.
There were (apparently) several of these turrets around Harrowbeer. We have found three, this one near the Bomb Store, another by the 'Rock', and one near Whistley Down. Please wait while the picture loads.
