Correct on all counts John, well done. We were there a couple of years ago, and yes they were built by Italain Prisoners of war, who also built a wonderful little church there.

 I am probably way way off track , but I keep thinking of some huge concrete structures somewhere near the south cost that I think cropped up a fair time ago on a thread or as pics. I am ready to be put right.

FIDO was a Fog Intensive Dispersal Operation .It dispersed fog  by burning fuel in rows on both sides of a runway in World War II. It was last used at Los Angeles International Airport in 1953 and was abandoned because it was too expensive.FIDO was available at RAF Manton until 1952.
