Your D/F hut is in a lovely spot, but how would it stand up to a big tusker who decided to give it a gentle push ? (just a thought !)
Don't know, because Negombo's Snake Hill was devoid of pachyderms, too near civilisation I suppose!
The China Bay VHF/DF Homer was in the middle of the airfield with water on two sides - China Bay on one side and Elephant Bay on the other. The photo shows it at dusk as a Sunderland takes off from China Bay on evening patrol during "JET 57" (Joint Exercise Trincomalee 1957).
Four of Seletar-based 205/209 Sqn's Sunderlands detached to and moored at China Bay for JET57.
