    Loran would have higher masts. Those I know are about 200 meter and higher.

    From wikipedia:
    [edit] GEE
    The British GEE system was developed during World War II. GEE used a series of transmitters sending out precisely timed signals, and the aircraft using GEE, RAF Bomber Command's heavy bombers, examined the time of arrival on an oscilloscope at the navigator's station. If the signal from two stations arrived at the same time, the aircraft must be an equal distance from both transmitters, allowing the navigator to determine a line of position on his chart of all the positions at that distance from both stations. By making similar measurements with other stations, additional lines of position can be produced, leading to a fix. GEE was accurate to about 165 yards (150 m) at short ranges, and up to a mile (1.6 km) at longer ranges over Germany. Used after WWII as late as the 1960s in the RAF (approx freq was by then 68 MHz).

    Looking up from the missing thing in my above pics we see this _wider_vieuw_.jpg with on the right* a long thing which is also in the next image.

    Going inland past the long thing _long_thing_.jpg and looking back at the sea we see the other side of it.

    There are many such long things there :)

    Which Ocean, which Sea, which Country, which County, which . . . . . .

    Good Luck!
    Angel


    * Edit: ‘‘right’’ is correct there, but first wrote by mistake ‘‘left’’

    Wardd was once (IRL) ± 230 NM north of the place. That's the closest he has ever been to this place. I'm sure Richard has been much closer....

    Now it's easy for Wardd as he knows where he has been :)

    Good Luck!

    No clue.

    I don´t remember that building, and I have no idea about the antenna arrangement. Maybe due to the (very rarely) nasty weather when passing that point I just cannot remember, maybe I really was never there. Although that is sure the British Island, hence I must have been there, or near.
