A 1991 newspaper article recorded that there were three underground bunkers for the Patrol in Corfe Mullen. It appears the main one was in the Plantation (Stony Down Plantation) to the south and west of the village. It was known to the Patrol as The Rendezvous. It had a disguised hatch entry. The Patrol would spend the night here.
Another is believed to have been at SY970977 also south of the main road. This was reported by the wife of Bob Burgin, one of the Scout Section members, to the Defence of Britain Project. The site also appears on a 1949 contraventions list for possible demolition as a hazard to the public, so likely it no longer exists.

The railway line to south would have been a very likely target. Bridges take it across the top edge of Poole Harbour.
