Mark It was very hit or miss, I don't think I took any in Whithorn thouh. I did not have a lot of time, I went down towards Burrow Head to see ithe AA training site but I don't think I went all the way but I then went to the old wireless station at Kidsdale. If I saw a War Memorial I photographed it but there was no plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I got a book on Mulberry, didn;t get chance to see much of them but I was aware. By the way, if you are interested in MULBERRY, the US CARL site had a a copy of the report on the conference held in Largs where the decision to build the MULBERRY harbours was taken. I heard about the Hush-Hush from someone who came from that area. He said it was radar but I know there was no radar there. When I saw the site I realised it fitted with something I had read about in a book about North Wales. A series of microwave tests were done around the Irish Sea and this was one of the sites, it worked with one in Pembrokeshire. There was also something in Portpatrick, probably at the Post Office site from the position given. On a trip to the area with Sub Brit we went to Galdenoch. It was a wartime then CAA wireless station but later during the Northern Ireland "Troubles", the BBC kept a transmitter trailer there, it could have provided coverage to NI if the baddies managed to put the main transmitter at Lisnagarvey out of action. The trailers were designed for Wartime Broadcasting Service during the Cold War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
