Brilliant photo’s !…..:D

Hello Buzzer, I remember the “Wednesday Boys” as we used to call them. In fact it was Baz that coined the phrase……more photo’s please 😉

Not quite, the one built nearest Watergate (Watchman?) was built when I was there and have pics of it going up somewhere, I’m guessing 1999-2000?
certainly both operated together when it was completed.
I’m guessing this replaced the old radar head (AR15) that was atop a low brick building on the left just as you go on to Trebelzue from the domestic site.

…yep, I would agree, the Watchman tower would have been built later than I suggested and it def replaced the AR15 in the location we agree on.

As Baz states, the HAS construction started in 1989.

The radar in use in the mid 80’s would have been the AR15 (previously the AR1) positioned along the boundary fence between the old watch office and the main camp at Treloy. It was a small brick building not much bigger than a garage with the radar head on small metal tower along side of it. The brick building is still there, the tower isn’t.

Sadly, Graham had run out of Wurthers Originals by this stage and had to send out for more……;)
