Went to visit my mate in Nowheresville, Lincolnshire, and as you know I like to have a little explore on the way, before having a rural village pub crawl.
These radar dishes are very unique, and I wanted to do a revisit with my wide angle lens.
First visited a few years back in icy brutal winter conditions; so this fine autumn day was a nice explore.
Explore on my own.
RAF Stenigot was built as a radar station, near Donington on Bain in Lincolnshire, in the WW2 as part of a defence measure called the Chain Home Radar network. This was an early warning system for air raids from Luftflotte V and Northern parts of Luftflotte II intended for Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester and other Midland Targets.
After WW2, RAF Stenigot continued to play a role in the Chain Home Network until 1959, when it was upgraded to a communications relay point in the ACE High Program. With this for Tropospheric Scatter dishes were added.
In the late 1980’s, Stenigot was decommissioned and the majority of the buildings had been demolished by the mid 1990’s.
And finally, A shot you don't see so often - the satellite dishes from a distance
thanks for looking
