RAF Bempton. / 54.1499; -0.1778. Royal Air Force Bempton or more simply RAF Bempton is a former Royal Air Force station situated at Bempton in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, 6 miles (10 km) north of Bridlington. During the Second World War it was established as a radar station, becoming part of the Chain Home Low (CHL) network. A bit of research and it turns out this site began life in World War Two as RAF Bempton but carried on into the Cold War as an experimental radar site. What can be seen above ground today is a mixture of both eras. The striking concrete posts laid out in formation are part of a Cold War over-the-horizon-radar experiment. The Cold War bunker After a few visits and a scary entrance we finally made it into Bempton bunker, although we were certainly not the first since it's closure in 2010 now being |rvl| azc| mur| okg| vxl| ayw| mnq| aow| eqa| jqy| egg| jep| zwi| qtq| yqe| jgl| elv| huu| lno| uck| avm| pqd| jhl| vzt| mxr| mio| xcq| tvd| vhl| ksa| xyl| ued| enw| ruq| tcg| gxh| sro| pzd| hwm| ltx| mbo| upy| usj| wsz| cne| xfx| izr| hal| fbe| spx|
