Wow, does that take me back :) There used to be very similar arrays at RAF Chicksands and other assorted Air Force comm detachments around the Midlands area in the UK. Most of these were relocated/abandoned in the mid to late 80's though. I was stationed at RAF Croughton, (Wideband/Satcom) and we had similar dishes there. My primary responsibiity was the 60-ton-dish satcom facility, where we provided a majority of .eu military communications out of Europe to CONUS. I unfortunately throughout the years managed to lose most of my pics of the base and dish farms, (too many moves across country, etc.) Might anyone have photos (or know of anywhere on the internet) where I can download some of those again? Thanks, and thanks for the pic..
