RAF HOLMPTON, Kilnsea, Spurn point
Visited by Myself and Mrs Links.
RAF HOLMPTON started life in the 1950's as an Early Warning Radar Station and by the 1970's it had gone on to become a major hub in the UK's Air Defences. In the 1980's it was extensively refurbished and became the National War HQ for RAF Support Command. In the 1990's it underwent a major rebuild to become an Experimental Electronic Warfare Operations Centre. In 2003 it became home to a new Public Exhibiton set in the 35,000sq ft command bunker some 100ft beneath the Yorkshire countryside, which is still today an active working environment.
