Poundon House Secret Training Centre

I hope I am not giving away any military secrets but this seems so long ago now: in the 1960s I was serving in the 39th Signal Regiment and Poundon House was used as a remote countryside hideaway where we could train for our signals work. I spent many visits here grappling with 'OTLP' codes and seeing precious little of the surrounding glorious countryside as I was cooped up in the locked 'Comcens' (communication centres).

RE: RE: Poundon House Secret Training Centre

I am searching for all informations about the Station 53-B located in (or near) Poundon during the Second World War. All help will be welcome. I am Hamradio, interested by the story of SOE signal in the Second World War. I have studied the antenna layout of this station, but I have a lot of questions about the exact location. I am also searching for any photos, if anyone has some. Thanks for your help, Andy
