Overview

History & significance

Treguff RAF Airfield Decoy Control Centre is a Second World War defensive installation located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under reference Cadw SAM GM604. The site functioned as a control centre for decoy operations designed to mislead enemy aircraft away from operational RAF airfields, representing a significant aspect of Britain's air defence strategy during the 1940s. The installation reflects the sophisticated countermeasures employed by the Royal Air Force to protect strategic airfield infrastructure from Luftwaffe bombing campaigns. Such decoy control centres were typically staffed to coordinate the activation and management of decoy installations, which employed lights, fires, and other visual deceptions to simulate airfield activity at dispersed locations.
