Dist:0.8km<br/>The features in the middle distance are hangars on the former RAF airfield at Hullavington. I think that these are now used for commercial storage, and the airfield for pleasure flights. But it is easy to see that such camouflage would have been effective against enemy bombers in WW2, both by making the targets difficult to find, and also by deflecting the blast from any bombs that were not a 'direct hit'.

Dist:1.0km<br/>"Stanton St. Quinton is one of a group of villages to the north of Chippenham on fairly flat land. The highest point is 118 metres in the west while the lowest is 77 metres in the north-east. The geology is a mixture of Cornbrash and clay of the Forest Marble and Kellaway beds. The exposed Cornbrash has been quarried near the streams as limestone for building, accounting for the numbers of quarry workers, such as the Hickerton family, in the later 18th and 19th centuries. The flatness of the parish made it suitable for the location of a RAF airfield over part of it and neighbouring Hullavington in the 20th Century."
