Thanks for posting, would love to visit here when I'm next up north. Well done on spotting all the 68 closures, don't suppose you got any pix of the clusters did you?

What do you mean clusters? I.e the cluster map?

I can send you some little insidvidual group ones though the post if your interested. Or if your willing to pay i can get a hugggeeee bigass one photocopied which is a full map of the british isles with all the sectors, hqs, posts, clusters, groups etc on. Thats from 1973, so many things have been reclustered, grouped etc since then but its still good!

The board was very cool. There was a little switch on the side and when you switched it on a strange light appeared which made all the 68 closures appear in red. Loved it!

Yes

I'll PM you re the wall sized map, I've made several unsuccessful attempts to get one and have also been watching eBay for ages.

Great pics.

Given that this place is about 400 yards from my house (as the crow flies) I've really got to get off my fat arse and go see it some time!

Have you been back to Barwick in Elmet since stand down?

I always like to hear from observers.

"and i was pleased with my manual skills."

So you should be. Pretty damn fine I thought. Especially with no tripod.
