Britanon here. I've been doing some research on WW2 airfields in the UK and I came across this gem:
Q-sites for night-time deception
Q-sites operated at night and tried to lure the enemy with sets of lights arranged to look like a real operational airfield. Q sites especially were very successful, drawing about 450 attacks and accounting for about 5 per cent of ordnance delivered by the Luftwaffe. There were around 250 of Q sites, initially built on a simple concept of a T shape of lights. By 1941 the decoys had lights which were set out over a mile and a half of countryside. In general Q sites had a night-time staff of two who would check lighting before dusk and await nightfall in a shelter. They would have lights on low but would also have a manoeuvrable light which looked like the light of an aircraft to attract the attention of the enemy pilot. The pilot would, it was hoped, attack, and the decoy men in their shelter would manipulate the lighting display.
Given the amount of bombing that goes on at QResearch, one has to wonder if this is a 'Q-Site', specially configured to take heavy damage while the real operational units get on with their missions uninterfered with.
