Crew unfamiliar with wartime type of british airfield lighting may have mistaken the 'Funnel' lights for Boundary lights and also mistook High Post Airfield Boundary shape for Boscombe Down in very poor vis/weather and landed on the grass heading downhill towards Boscombe Down,they stopped just outside the Fence at BD (after crossing the A345) - so a section of the fence was removed and the B36 towed onto the airfield.
I think the radar at BD at that time could only give range (no Height info),iirc did the crew transmit that ''the airfield is rough'' and Air Traffic said ''you are not here yet'' ??
