Adcock-station Durgerdam
This brick building was an Adcock station for air navigation, possibly linked to Fliegerhorst Schellingwoude. It stood centrally on a square plot with four antennas, but was likely out of service in September 1944.
The Albrecht resistance group reported on August 20th: "There are five radio masts here, but without antenna wires. A 'Wachmann' acted as sentry." and (handwritten) "Beacon Schiphol Airport?"
