Ooh pillboxes! I have loads of info on pillboxes if you want any, including types, dimensions, etc. I may even have some copies of the FW3 War Office plans somewhere (where I don't know!).

You know that would make an interesting thread in itself. Especially if you have any pdfs you can link to. They are such a prominant battle feature yet how many of us know anyththing about them?

And impressive models for a weeks work!

That might be an idea if people are interested. I spent about 4 months surveying them so I've got a fair bit of info. I did at one time have CAD drawings of various types based on site measurements.
