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?

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
