On a related note I visited Hughenden Manor, near High Wycombe, last year. That was used in WW2 for map making, one of the maps they made were daily specialised target maps for the bomber raids.
They have a 1940s weekend in September where there are a lot of exhibitors and period equipment & 'actors'. There was also a battle demonstration on the fields. It appears to be on 15th and 16th of September this year but doesn't seem to be well publicised at the moment
It's a National Trust property and has a few rooms dedicated to this role, very little was know until recently. It was also Disraeli’s home and has quite a lot of exhibits relating to that era too.
