That last room you looked at was the Frequency Changer, for tuning the radar frequency and making sure it had not drifted. Remember, microwave frequencies were in their relative infancy in early radar and were subject to drift with temperature ETC.
Lovely old switched 5A round-pin socket at 18:06. Great to see it still intact!
I remember watching the radar spinning. It was huge and I always marvelled how fast something so huge spun.
Ian I hope you got to go to the muckleburgh collection whilst you were there in Norfolk. There's a radar at the end of the museum
Yeah that's the AA4 MK7, I was at RAF Weybourne when it was gifted to the museum. They were on "Care and Maintenance" then and although we gifted it to the museum we were often over there salvaging parts that were no longer stocked. That would be c1989. Very, very happy times.
Morning guy. Bad morning today. Due to Xmas my Gym and Walmart does not open till 6AM this morning. I usually start my day at 3AM CDT. USA. Just took a half hour loop and warmed my van up. Gerrr. At least you guys posted!!!
Love the History on all the explores and vrry well delivered folks. This place looks beautiful. Most important the suns out.
I remember that place in the early 70's.. lots of masts and metalwork..
An entire evening of IKS entertainment! Thanks lads!
Good ome boys loven this series keep it up my fr2much love from Maine USA to u both and hope u both had a great Christmas
Great video! The generator block & exhaust ventilation apertures reminds me of Warden Point Battery Radar Station, IOS (now slipped down London clay cliffs onto beach).
I do hope these buildings can be preserved.
There used to be 2 of those golf balls at steamer point in friars cliff in Christchurch in the early 80s there are still some bunkers and pill boxes in the local area. Thanks for the video iks 👍
Great video as always.
Great video really interesting location. Chris adds a lot with his eye for detail and function.
That old perimeter fencing looks identical to that around some of the old Thor sites- same posts, height, spacing. So 50’s Rotor era......
Hi Guy's! Did you go any further towards Mundesley? I grew up around here and there are more ! behind what is now Trafalgar Court ( the big old hotel ) there are more old presumably Radar mounts or gun emplacements with underground bunkers etc.... I also remember stories as a lad of an airman who hung himself from one of the rotor turntables? how true or whether to deter us kids from playing in potentially dangerous places I am not sure... nice explore and you even got to see more than I did as a child... thanks for sharing!!
Wow that's interesting thanks for sharing :)
history is everywhere, although you have to go through thorn bushes
These buildings are what happens all over Norfolk. The whole county is full of small buildings full of junk. I don't know why, but they just seem to have an unstoppable desire to fill any vacant space with old poultry and rabbit cages as well as heaps of obsolete building materials that would never be enough to finish a job. Not much gets thrown away in Norfolk, it simply gets hidden away until it slowly turns to dust and returns to Mother Earth.
Nice video folk so much history hope you had a great Xmas
I’m shocked they let you fly a drone round there to be fair but fair play nice shots 👍
Have you guys done "RAF" Menwith Hill?
Its a NSA spy base, very interesting!
Just for the record, that's "Frequency Changer" (not charger). In any superheterodyne system, the incoming (return) signal is changed down to a lower frequency, primarily to make it easier to handle the signal. Centimetric, and sub-centimetric RF (Radio Frequencies) need to be directed via a tubular waveguide, to the receiving transducer, from which point the RF is changed down to IF (Intermediate Frequency) for processing. It's basically the same thing in radio and television, except that the frequencies are considerably higher in RADAR applications.
Speaking of cars . . . There were a lot of anecdotal stories of cars coming to a dead stop on the top road near RAF Staxton Wold, way back in the '50s and '60s. Whether the stories warranted any credence is another matter. Just as many driver said it was all a load of 'sphericals' as there were who claimed to have been stricken by the RADAR "death beams". It's all a moot point now, since RADAR technology has moved along several places since then.
Rubish
@@michaelshore2300 Oh aye?
@@28YorkshireRose12 Oh aye !!! the main radar was the type 80 and there were 2 type 14s and a 13 In the 80 the 'frequency changer' was part of the receiver about a cubic foot and connected directly to the antenna wave guide, Same in the others expect there it was much smaller.
Forget mucking about with your speedometer, a beam that powerful is strong enough to induce F.L.K. (funny looking kids) downrange as well.
Should buy some garden sheers for those spikey plants
No way man this is where we had our church youth camps when I was a kid.
That base might have been for a power transformer, there didn't seem to be the other kit needed for a generator.
I hope he does just down the road from there where there is a big bunker in the side of the Hill
The rate of cliff erosion these structures will soon be in the sea some already are. Came across a strange structure near a Norfolk beach while on holiday with concrete bases and rails.
The frequency charger might be a frequency changer. We were better at VHF and UHF very high frequency and Ultra high frequency.
Theres about 12-13 of these golf ball type radars at the 'american base' at menwith hill just outside of leeds we got stopped by m.o.d police nearby when we stopped off taking pictures
9:01 would have been cogs and motors to spin the radar.
Spurious rf emissions.
Full moon mate:)) nice again guys, thank god no graffity shit!
It would be great if you folks would go out there at night with a 48 inch florescent lamp and just hold it up in the air. I think the lamp would light up every time the radar rotated toward you from the very high radio frequency energy, radiated from the dish inside the dome. You may need to get closer to it perhaps by the fence would work? I think it also could be heard on medium radio band as its energy would overload the receivers front end.
“My fingers got the original thorn still in it”
Seems like this thing has an extrem output power to cause such emp distraction
We have at least one of those Radar /Golfballs out here in New Zealand that the Americans own and we had a couple fringe loonies jump the security fence and take to it with an axe a couple years ago. It collapsed and you could see the radar dish inside. Its only a vinal covering and it looked like it was inflated as after they had taken to it with the axe it looked very limp and deflated. LOL
Hats off to the man with the axe 😂
Well duh.
The covering is only to protect the radar from the weather.
Yeah I remember that.
You blurred his builder's arse, OUTSTANDING. Great vid gentlemen thank you also all the best for the New Year.
oh well I'll say hi then ... where's everyone else ??
