Newton Patrol
Transport targets wouls have included the roads from the coast to the east; Whitby to Teesside and Saltburn to Teesside along with the Whitby to Middlesbrough railway.
The Starfish Decoy site at Guisborough Moor could have been another target.
Locally the Patrol would have trained at Bousdale Wood. Regionally, with other Patrols, training took place at Danby Hall, the Intelligence Officer's HQ in the area and at Castleton with the Scout Section from the Green Howards.
Some of the Patrol went to Coleshill House for specialist courses.
It is assumed the Patrol had access to the standard Auxiliary Units kit and equipment.
Some Patrol meetings were held at Redcar with Captain Dixon.
