Small arms (25 yd) ranges on RAF airfields were usually adapted from the butts used to 'zero' the guns on fighters, so I'm a bit dubious that a manufacturers (Boulton & Paul) airfield with an EFTS should have one, especially as the only armed aircraft produced during the war didn't have forward facing guns (Defiant), but I can't see what else it might be! I bet the occupants of those houses just across the canal really appreciated that.
