Eureka. Well I found this one by starting at Portland and working north and I was lucky very quickly in the end. The Army type Nissen Hut, the road to East Bexington, Dairy House and Bexington Coppice all helped to get it together.

Thank you Class31, we'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course. You may be interested to know that the original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry reads "Cloud on Ground W.Portland Bill".
