Hello Friends

Maybe we can start to pin-point the bunkerphoto from Etienne , because that is one of the Y-Verfahren
or one of the three X - Verfahren .
I would go for Stp 368 with the a,b,c and d ( part on photo 2 and full on photo 3 ) looks to that a and b on
the your picture around surrounded with the black round .
For the Ebay picture could be Jobourg but also St Martin aux Buneaux is a possble location

Hello

For information, there is a (very) old 39-45 magazine about this station. I think there is also a situation plan in it. I have to check this when I will be home.

Found some drawings of the working of the beams used by the X-Verfahren and Y-Verfahren
You can see with the X beams you nead four devices and the Y beams used only one device .

Drawings = German Air Force of Alfred Price

A recently expired ebay.de auction included some pictures of the Y5 station. Other pictures of the same series were dated May 1941.

The bottom floor of the building does not look like a bunker to me or am I missing something?

Yes it was mainly made of wood, but on the picture in question, please look at how the middle support is made up of bit and pieces and not one long beam.
