Englishcombe Patrol
The most likely targets would have been the railway around Oldfield Park and the nearby Twerton Railway tunnel along with the Windsor and Destructor bridges over the river Avon and the industrial sites in the Locksbrook area.
There was a firing range at Englishcombe used by the Patrols.
It appears the Patrol was stood down early. The Nominal Roll shows all members as services no longer required (S.N.L.R.) as of 16th October 1942.
