Lhanbryde Patrol
The area of the Patrol is in that of a busy commuter route for road and rail.
The Patrol was close to the RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Milltown. There were likely invasion beaches in the area around Spey Bay. The main Aberdeen - Inverness railway lines passes close by in heavily wooded sections that would have been likely targets and associated bridges over the River Spey. Also road and rail bridges over the River Spey.
Most likely Blairmore House in Huntly.
