Good Morning, looks like a miserable day certainly in the N.E.
Staxton Wold is the oldest active RADAR Station in the World George, it has had numerous updates over the years but now a shadow of its former self and is as now a just a RADAR Head as is indicated all down to Satellites along with the 24/7 patrolling AWACS downloading, they do have a mobile RADAR on site which looks down the valley all the way to York which at one time was very active with RAF Aircraft on low level combat but now mainly Training Aircraft. That area between Bridlington and and Hull was a very active in the RADAR World at one time.
Remember Danby Beacon very well when it was was active and I have some cracking photographs of when it was in operation, Black and White of course. The Moor area under the Transmitter Masts is still barren after all these years, nothing will grow there.j
