So what happened & went on at RAF Southrop: -
The site was picked as a Relief Landing Ground, nice and flat and close to several west of England training airfields of which most were established before the war. An RLG was a place pilots could fly in in the morning, do their pilot training (flying) and then in the evening, fly back to their base. A grass field was laid out, a perimeter track added and a Petrol Tank (Aviation) 4,000galls above ground, was installed to re fuel the planes whilst here. Time lines are hard to form with Southrop as I am working from books that just have one paragraph talking about it. Due to the massive expansion of pilot training, it must have been decided around 1940/1 to turn it into a full training airfield. That meant that the perimeter was now tarmacked, a new fuel instillation for 24,000gal underground was added, a T1 hangar (14bay) - Steel - 9659/42. A full Technical site was added behind the hangar and a 13726/41 control tower built. Behind these prominent buildings were, Stores, Armoury, Bulk oil, Gas defence centre, Flight offices, Link trainer, MT sheds, Instructional operations building, Main workshops, Main stores, Guard house & fire party. Oh and separate Latrines for Officers and Men.
Behind the Tech. Site was the instructional Site, where class room teaching could take place. There were around 18 huts, Temporary Brick (TB) or Seco (S) types. There was an Intelligence Library, Photographic Block, Hunt Recognition Range, Turret instructional Block, Navigation Lecture Room, One hut had DR. RT. & Morse Lecture Room.
(A T1 hangar is a slightly smaller T2 type with three quarter height doors, to be used on training airfields where light planes are used).
((S ) Seco huts. ((TB) Temporary Brick, a half brick structure with iron windows and usually an Asbestos sheeted roof).
(DR. Direction finding - RT. Radio Telephone - Morse, a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes).

Most of this area was basically turned over to the Air Ministry Works Department. There job was the repair, maintenance of buildings, sewage, etc. The state of the grass field, so they would sow the correct grass seed and mow the grass.
The Blister hangar was for the repair and maintenance of the aircraft. Not to store aircraft, as they would have to sit out in all weathers. Blister Hangar Extra Over type.

40 - Pill Box.
Made of two large concrete drain pipes (as in Norcon style) and cemented together with a brick base and concrete roof. Airfield defence was not designed to protect the airfield from attack from outside, it was to protect the airfield from attack by a parachute & glider force onto the airfield. Most of the pill boxes faced into the centre. This was an early design and like RAF Ackerman Street, another training airfield of around the same date, it too had the pre fabricated pillboxes that we will see later. So no large brick and concrete pillboxes here. No Battle HQ either.

As in WW1 at the deceleration of the war, all airmen were issued rifles and Officers Webley Pistols. These guns were to be kept handy for any eventuality. At times of heightened threat, rifles would be carried.

Perimeter Track

Details

Perimeter continues. The grass surface was laid out in two runways and not as an open grass area to land on. In the old days a plane just took off or landed into wind. Now with runways, they had to used them. This meant that wear and tear on the grass, especially in wet weather. So several types of matting was designed and used. Here it was Sommerfeld tracking. Designed by a German expatriate engineer, Kurt Joachim Sommerfeld and made of bars running through a steel rod eye, threaded through steel mesh.
