RAF Penrhos was acquired in 1936 and opened in 1937 as No 5 Armament Training Camp with Westland Wallace aircraft, in 1939 it became known as No 9 Bombing and gunnery school with Handley-Page Harrows and Fairey Battles, after 1940 when the airfield was attacked by a German aircraft, a detachment of 611 sqn aircraft Spitfires, then 312 sqn Hurricanes used the airfield, the main domestic site is now home to ex Polish servicemen which has quite a few ww2 buildings still intact.
These images are from mainly the peri track area, so here goes
shelters and unidentified pillbox
Blister and blister bases
windsock
peri track drain
main site
Possibly small arms store
And this on the airfield it self looks like the farmer has taken segments from a shelter to build a wall
pillbox
enterance to the box
this went down to a small box room
