Great, the UFO. Got sunburt once with Gibbo trying to find this place. Found another one of these the other week in Devon.
Love that last shot! |
That last shots a winner! I would of thought something like this would of been more secure.

Nice pics.
At the airports they have the horizontal one then a vertical one, they work in tandem to give the position and glideslope for fully automatic landing (think they call it a cat 3 landing), this might be what the vertical one's for here all though if it's not at an airport they're unlikely to need glideslope indication. Wise move not climbing it, don't think it'd be just a ticking off getting busted on that. |

good stuff, never seen one of these before :) It would make for some spectacular night shots with star trails and light painted :)

Was there just the single Yagi-Uda on the mast? Which way is it pointing? |

Although having said that... DME is also utilised to provide distance to touchdown when sited with ILS equipment: traditionally there are marker beacons sited at intervals (about 5 miles, 3/4 mile and 300 yards) from the end of runways, along the glidepath, which transmit a radio signal directly upwards - as aircraft fly over them they cause one of 3 lamps to flash in the cockpit thereby letting the pilot know how far he is from the end of the runway. But markers are being superceeded by DME nowadays. |
One near Tod ROC post too http://nwex.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5...ight=todmorden
