According to Patrol member Ray Rolph, the OB was located in woodland at the rear of Feltwell Lodge, in an area locally known as Feltwell Top. Part of this area was transformed into a quarry that is currently used as a landfill site.
The OB was described to us as having been an underground Nissen hut with an Ammo store and an escape run of 100 yards into woods. Nothing remains today.

Military targets nearby would have included RAF Feltwell, RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall.
Other local targets would have been roads through Thetford Forrest with the major crossroads at Mundford, Brandon and Thetford and the railway between Ely and Norwich.
Some members went to Coleshill House for specialist courses.
Locally they trained at Thetford Forrest and at Captain Gentle's farm near Brandon.
