RAF Stenigot, Lincolnshire

Its been a while since I went here with Bug Superstart and Oldsk00l, November 2010 to be exact, so as I was in the area, i decided to call in to see the place with a lot less snow. The place is pretty much as I remember it, but then again, I guess there is not too much that you can trash on these old dishes.

History

RAF Stenigot was a World War 2 radar station situated near Donington on Bain, Lincolnshire, England.

It was part of the Chain Home radar network, intended to provide long range early warning for raids from Luftflotte V and the northern elements of Luftflotte II along the approaches to Sheffield and Nottingham and the central midlands.

After World War II, the site was retained as part of the Chain Home network. In 1959 it was upgraded to a communications relay site as part of the ACE High program, which involved adding four tropospheric scatter dishes.

The site was decommissioned in the late 1980s and was mostly demolished by 1996.
