WWII RAF Radar Station, Kinley Hill
-
Description
"One of the Chain Home Low (CHL) sites, an early detection radar warning system, detecting enemy aircraft movement at lower altitudes, often used with the fixed Chain Home system operated by the RAF during World War II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_Home_Low There is anecdotal evidence that there may even have been a very early WWI acoustic mirror early warning system here similar to the one in Sunderland http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/soundmirrors/locations/sunderland/ Recent evidence, however, suggests the Seaham mirror was located about 2km to the north-west [[NZ4148]] although nothing of it can be found there today http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/soundmirrors/locations/seaham/" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2009. -
