I believe this may be a WW2 decoy control shelter, does anyone have further information. It's situated down the Burness Road in Firth.

This, I've been told was the generator house to power the mock airfield at Burness, which was a decoy to guide the German bombers away from Hatston during the war Luckily for the people down the Burness road I dont think it did much business.

There was an identical setup on Fidge in Sanday. It was never used.
