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... 

Buccaneer nose cone used used for radar testing equipment during the Cold War Years

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...

Revist around the former RAF Drem Airfield

 

I have  wanted to remake film about the former RAF Drem here in the heart of East Lothian and on Easter Monday I took the opportunity to ride around a very quiet Perimeter track which is usually quite busy with horses that are stabled around the former airfield and with some audio from the BBC series Spitfire ace have re made the film...

Enjoy, and leave a like or comment  if you enjoyed it...

Pease Bay and the worlds tallest Bridge!... in 1786!

 

Pease Bay and Dean, above the well known bay favoured by surfers, has a bridge quite famous, as it was the tallest bridge in the world at 130ft when constructed in 1786, and its still used today to get traffic across the deep ravine,  after a wee look parked up on the Royal Enfield Classic 350 I spun ip the road to revisit another old ruin across a lovely old packhorse bridge...

WW2 air raid shelter...

The film tells the whole story...

East Lothian Coastal Car Parks; Do/should Motorbikes pay for parking?

 

I could not see anywhere on the Coastal car park meters or online on the East Lothian Council website if motorcycles park for free?, as motorbikes park free 99% everywhere else in Scotland, so I emailed the Council and within a week got a reply!,

Watch the film for the reply and my thoughts and reasons behind them...

Revisit to Cove...

The magical Cove harbour on the Berwickshire coast is always a lovely place to visit, on a stormy day when the North Sea is angry and you can hardly stay stood up in the howling onshore easterly winds, or a morning like today when I visited early just after 7am, it was easter Friday and I was out filming several other places for motorbike films  and arriving early paid off as I had the place to myself...

 Wee film...
