Radar Domes (RAF Stenigot)
Visited 2006
Originally setup as part of a radar chain as early warning system against bombing raids by the Luftwaffe in the Second world war. The station continued as a radar station until 1959 when it was upgraded as a part of a new NATO project known as "Ace High." Ace High was a Communications project developed in the early 50's to provide communications between NATO forces. The project was decommissioned in the late 1980's
I was in the area looking at industrial sites with WOTS and we thought we would stop to take a look. Its an interesting reminder of our recent cold war history... and an interesting place to climb!
Domes,
