There`s a notice explaining this feature close to it. In the past I`ve refrained from using this photo as I thought it difficult,except for yourself and John Filmer.

Where would you find this Hagioscope - Double Squint?

Was the "significant WW2 structure", Biggin Hill RAF Airfield please? - what is left of it now?

Sorry for the late reply but trying to get it in before the next round starts.  As Pete has confirmed, I was meaning the Dunkirk CH station at the top of Boughton Hill.  There is just one tower left now.  My uncle by marriage was stationed there during WW2.  He met my Aunt at the Dunkirk Cafe which was next to the CH Station.


The Chain Home Radar Installations
A CH station consisted of four 360 foot tall steel towers separated by 180 feet. Strung between the towers were vertical feed cables. Between these vertical cables were eight half-wave dipoles spaced ½ a wavelength apart. Chain Home would send out a burst of radio energy toward a target and then calculated the time it took for that signal to return. Instead of steering a radio beam like a narrow flashlight and detecting when a target lights up, like today’s radar systems do, the Chain Home antennas were stationary and illuminated large areas like a spotlight. Direction to the target was determined by adjusting a knob that would minimize the blip and a scale to determine the angle. Based on the strength of the return, the size of the attacking force could then be assessed.

Diapason beat me this time . I was nearly there.

Absolutely right Diapason. It was on a previous GTP. Although 20 years apart Peter Challis and I had a few shared connections in that area. My great-grandfathers garden backed on to the Challis family home, my Dad frequented The Forrester's when Peters parents had it, ( I believe his parents are in this pic somewhere) and in the seventies I was in there a lot as it was by then a motorbike shop. Peter filled in a number of gaps I had with the history of Troy Town for me. An absolute gentleman.




Over to you.

[Diapason]

I think Peter Challis may have spent his early years in this pub.

[pete.mason]

I've seen it before too

[Diapason]

Foresters Arms, Rochester?


I think that I`ve seen this one before which has some connection with "peterchall", a highly respected member of the `old` Forum.
