These were taken on a number of visits, no externals as I took most of these at night to avoid the mad farmer



St Twynnell's Rotor was one of a network of modern radar defenses conceived in the early 1950's as a response to the increased threat posed by soviet bomber forces. The Target date for its completetion was september 1953 but it is one of two rotor stations listed in the project file without a completion dates. The manufacture's installation plates on most of the plant remaining is dated 1954.

St Twynells was never fully operational in 1952 most of the radar installations planned for the site were cancelled and only they type 80 control radar remained in plan but this too was cancelled in june 1953 when St Twynnells dropped to the bottom of the priority list of stations to be fitted out. only mobile type 11 radar was ever used at st twynells despite the completed radar bases which still sit across the road from the rotor bunker.

the farmer is a weapons grade idiot he managed to smash the power line to the guard house that was converted to somebody's house and would not let swebb onto his land to fix it
 
nice mate :), always worth not upsetting the locals. Especially farmers with dugs and goons :lol::lol:
 
Brilliant site, farmer sounds a bit of a nutter!
We've got one round here like that, he chased several cars with a tractor that were in the lane by Thunderidge old Church, one evening, ramming a couple of them, police were called and he was arrested and subsequently lost his driving licence ;)

Remember Farmer Palmer, the Viz character? Yeah, well he was based on this guy. I won't add anything else apart from good to see pictures from this place.
