FLR-9 at RAF Chicksands

Many circular antenna arrays have been built around the world, almost all of them for military purposes. I have visited a few of these sites. I believe the first one I ever saw (in 1982) was this one at RAF Chicksands, UK. Its military nomenclature was AN/FLR-9, but most people just called it a "Flair 9". It's been dismantled, but the land-scar will be there for a long time... [52 02 39N, 00 23 21W]   Below is a ground level photo I took in October, 1982
