Absolutely fantastic insight into this strategic facility. I did have the privilege of going onto the site and up to the top floor of Fylingdales Radon tower. What a great experience that was, thank you.
My dad was a radar technician at Fylingdales during the 60s and 70s ,during the time of the golf balls ,I remember dad driving us up that road when I would be about 6 years old with mum and my sister and now I pass occasionally on my Motor cycle 😊
I saw this today on my way to Whitby and back and was so strange there wasn't any trees and fresh grass about miles . It was looking like a dead place. No fields,no farms. Few sheeps and that's it. There is looks like a big radiation.
You must be ex Army to call an Officer a ‘Rupert’? In the RAF and specifically in the RAF Trades that work at Radar Stations an Officer is known to the other ranks as a ‘Zob’.
I always used to look for the "giant golf balls" (Radar) on my way to whitby as a kid
It's amazing what went on and off at RAF Flyingdale and other military installations during the cold war.

God it must be so fun to go through all those declassified files and reading about all the cute little things that were logged all those decades ago.
That is probably not cardboard. 2:50
It looks like nomex honeycomb
Well nomex is resin impregnated paper so not far out. A bit like early circuit boards that were SRBP (synthetic resin bonded paper).
OOH! Play some Jean Michelle Jarre on that RCA anti-jammer p'leeeeeeease :)
