    Stumbled across information on New Zealand Farm Camp on the Salisbury Plains.
    Is there any information out there on what units used this camp during WW2.

    Can’t upload the picture but search for Imber village, it’s just N of that (on Google Earth)

    Added a couple of plots that might be useful to future research

    Both use topographic data from the National LIDAR Program:

    1) Relative Topography (useful generally - blue = lower ground, red = higher ground).

    2) Slope angle (good for picking out subtle and even buried features, interestingly in the top right there is a circular object that might be a small pond or bomb crater?, There is also a small area to the south of the farm that has been flattened).

    I note too a pillbox on the aerial that is a bit too small to resolve on the slope angle plots.
