Revisit to Gin Head - WW2 Top Secret Radar Research Station

 

I stopped at the Cafe on the cliffs overlooking Canty Bay the other Sunday and to a walk along above the cliffs to have another look at the Buildings of Gin Head...

This is of coarse where top secret radar jamming techniques using captured German radar were used along with another invention called Windows where foil strips dropped from aircraft led German Radar to believe a huge force of ships was heading to Port de Calais and that the force heading for Normandy was a decoy, this fooling deployment is responsable for saving countless lives of soldiers as the Tank regiments were kept at Calais...

Perched on the cliffs this place would make the ultimate man cave with all the out buildings that could be used to keep all your toys, there is even a crane to move your non running military stuff!...

A lovely little corner of East Lothians coast....

Remake of my original film from 12+ years ago...
