A Second World War Royal Air Force camp, Site No. 2 (Instructional) at RAF Turweston, is visible on historic aerial photographs and was mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located about 380 metres S of Dropshort Farm and centred at SP 462423 238933, Site 2 (Instructional) was one of 8 satellite camps for military personnel serving at adjacent RAF Turweston, an operational wartime military airfield. Instructional Site 2 comprised a large wireless telegraphy instructional building, 2 ground instructional buildings, an A.M.(Air ministry) Teacher (based upon the Vickers-Bygrave Bombing Teacher) and compressor house, latrines, link trainer and a sentry post, accessed by a road and path network. Aerial photographs taken in 1973 show that the buildings and site had been demolished by that time (1-6).
