Default Re: Rhossili Down radar station

Apparently part of CHL (Chain Home Low). This isn't as it might sound a low frequency system, but a system that can 'see' lower than the standard Chain Home system that could also pick up low flying aircraft. There was also CHEL (Extra) that could apprently detect shipping.

Why do I know all this? I happened to visit RAF Bempton last week (East Yorkshire) that was part of the same system, but also seemed to have an experimental phased array, and then coversion to a newer system called ROTOR.
