Yes this is it, and the record that i meant

Most northern part of the UK, at the north coast of the Shetland islands. It was "down" for some time, but has been re-equipped and is "on" as a remote radar head again since 2019 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Saxa_Vord)

Over to you, Jim

Well i admit it is really bad to identify something that is not unique, like ball-shaped radar installations.. this could be anywhere. There are other examples not posted by me, too. So shall we change the rules?

I like it the way it is as long as there is something interesting to learn, or makes the subject different from other similar subjects. This was the only radar with a record associated to it.

No, this was a good one. I learned a lot about UK coastal radar installations (and just not made it to the Shetlands in time).

Back home in a couple of hours and hopefully something 'different'

Jimbuna · 01-08-21, 12:42 PM

Aktungbby · 01-08-21, 02:47 PM

I'd say likely it's in Thailand as it's their national symbol. Trying to find where.
