Tony B 17 Posted February 13, 2017 Question is, does the centre go up or down? Looks to me like some form of very heavy, ie railgun or coastal artillery emplacement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad I wasn't around when you were shooting, could have been dangerous. :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony B 17 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) long time ago Dammed if I can remember the name of the place, lots of deer. That area was called Airship Now back to subject. Is the shape some sort of emplacement? The other thing that comes to mind is mobile radar. Noise important?

fv1609 22 Posted February 13, 2017 Is it one of those concrete listening dishes that were on the Kent coast? Good idea Rob but this 1905 & what you have is view from above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other thing that comes to mind is mobile radar. Noise important? WW1 sound locator station Someone has already suggested a sound locator Tony. Not radar this is from 1905 used by the British Army but was copied from another major army of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
