RAF Wroughton, Robins Hangars East
On the 19th August 1940 RAF Wroughton was attacked by the Luftwaffe and a 'D' type hangar was damaged. Four dispersed Robin sites were built after the attack to provide extra storage. There were 27 Robins hangars dispersed both east & west of RAF Wroughton. This is now the east side of which I have found six and two A&B aircraft dispersal areas.
Yellow - open roads.
Green - tracks, some drivable.
White - dispersals & airfield roads.
