Sound Detection... a forerunner of Radar
When the TRE unit was moved to Malvern the RAF adopted the
site and they remained there for a further 25 years. The site
was then cleared and the land was returned to agricultural
use.
Of the 5 original sites (A, B, C, D & E), there is little
to see today except some ruinous building clinging to the
cliff at what was site 'D'. This was one of the experimental
CHL stations and was constructed on the site of an old quarry.
The elevation above sea level was perfect for detecting aircraft
approaching low over the sea.
