Report - Radar base / Prison / Military Training Camp - Bexhill - July 21 and March 23

[Ant2011]

I first visited this location in July 2021. I managed to get a few photos before bumping into a security guard. He told me a bit about the history of the place, but then asked me to leave..
Taliesin Bourne has already posted some useful links in the Rumours forum.
This location has had many uses over the years: a Royal Air Force Mobile Radio Unit, then a radar station domestic site, then a Category C training prison in 1969. Riots in 1986 destroyed 40% of the buildings and it finally closed in 1992. It was then refurbished and used as a training camp for the UAE Military. This was how I first heard about it, as there were lots of rumours going around from conspiracy theorists as to what they were actually doing there.

The mosque...

The clinic...

A selection of other shots from around the site...

Hope you enjoy the images.

I know this has been the exploring hotspot of the month. But you have captured it really well. It’s a nice site by the looks of it.

Those chairs are possibly the ugliest I have ever seen.

Interesting xray. Either the radiographer put the label on the wrong side or the patient has the exceedingly rare condition of dextrocardia where the heart is on the other side.

In my opinion it is potentially one end of a vacuum tube system for transporting small pods of stuff around a building, businesses use them to securely move cash and other things around buildings.
