Tonfanau village Army Camp - Added to Historic Buildings in Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Coastal site of former WW II army and anti-aircraft training camp.
A huge army camp once occupied land both sides of the railway at Tonfanau. It could accommodate almost as many people as the population of nearby Tywyn! Its final use was for refugees from Uganda.

Tonfanau camp was established in 1937 in anticipation of the Second World War. Anti-aircraft gunners trained here, firing at targets towed by planes from Morfa airfield, or RAF Towyn.
TOAL from the beach, many interesting outlines and ruined buildings to photograph.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 30/08/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
