D/F Tower

No offence REF but I prefer mine, they are way more atmospheric!

Photographed in 1983. Must admit I dont like the wooden cladding either and where is that brick building gone?

This is all wonderful stuff (to me) as the contents of these superb buildings were connected to the mains .

So can I ask 'What did they do'? Or should I say 'How did they do what they did'?

I dont know whether this is related or not, but at Exeter Airport is a metal red and white chequered (now rust colour) caravan in a hedge row, with two rooms, one is a control room with control panel having holes for osscilloscopes etc and the other is more of a cabinet with access from outside. There is an War or the Worlds alien's head coming out of the top of the cabinet and inside is this contraption - see below:

This is the interior of the control room

The DF cabin from Grafton Underwood, the same as the lower part of the Lakenheath one as seen in the first photograph in this thread, still exists in a private collection not far from the base.

NP, your photos show a Radar Trailer, I'll see if I can find my references to identify the precise type.

All the best,

Yes I thought it might be GCA but what is the alien structure? When confirmed I will get this shifted to a new thread.

The control panels match this photo of the CR/DF system:

Paul what sort of date is that model/type.
