Radar Type 87 TIR Plinth (missing the radar)
In 1950 Bawdsey was selected to become part of the ROTOR Programme, to update Great Britain's Radar cover after World War Two. It consisted of many sites with huge Underground Bunkers to withstand conventional bombing. In 1958 an AMES Type 80 Mk3 was installed with 2 AN/FPS-6 US made Radars. RAF Bawdsey was manned by 144 Signals Unit from 11 Group and together with 6 other Stations in the Eastern Sector it offered cover from 30 minutes before dawn to 30 minutes after sunset as there was no night cover.
The site of RAF Bawdsey Radar Station built in the early 1950's as part of the ROTOR Programme to modernise the United Kingdom's Radar Defences. This was a replacement Station for the Chain Home Station at RAF Bawdsey, located to the south of this Site. The ROTOR Station was fitted with a Type 7 Mk3 Radar Head for local search and control, two Type 14 (Mk8 and Mk9) Plan Positioning Radar Heads, four Type 13 Mk6 and two Type 13 Mk7 Height Finder Radar Heads, and three Type 54 Mk3 Radar Heads for Search and Control with no IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) The Radar Heads were mounted on plinths and 25ft gantries, apart from the Type 54 arrays that were mounted on 20ft Towers. The site was equipped with a Guardhouse designed to resemble a 'bungalow' which gave access to a two-storey, Underground R3 Operations Block. The R3 Bunker was completed in 1954. Newly developed Type 80 Radar and its associated Modulator Building was installed in 1958, with two AN/FPS 6 Height Finding Radars. By 1963 RAF Bawdsey had become a Master Radar Station, but in June 1964 it switched to operating as a Satellite Station to RAF Neatishead in Norfolk. It resumed Master Radar Station status in 1966 until 1974, after a fire damaged RAF Neatishead's Control Centre. Bawdsey closed in 1975 and in 1977 features of the ROTOR Station were demolished, including Plinths, Towers and the Type 80 Modulator Building.
As a site of national importance the Cold War Bloodhound Mark II Missile Site survives intact apart from the removal of the Missiles and their Associated Mobile Equipment. In 1979 RAF Bawdsey reopened as a Bloodhound Mk2 Surface to Air (SAM) Missile Site. The Guardhouse also remains in a derelict condition, and is still attached to the R3 Bunker via an Access Tunnel, the R3 Bunker is disused and has been sealed shut.
The Bloodhound Missile Site is located within the Perimeter of the early 1950's Radar Station of RAF Bawdsey, the Missile Section became active in July 1979 as C Flight of 85 Squadron and remained Operational until the 31st of May 1990. The Flight was divided into two sections, each of which was equipped with six Fixed Concrete Missile Pads, the remainder of its Equipment was Semi-Portable. The Bloodhound Missiles were controlled from Launch Control Posts (LCP's) set on hardstandings and surrounded by an protective earthwork bank, they were connected to the Target Illuminating Radar by cables. Initially the Flight was equipped with two Type 87 Radars mounted on angular Steel Plinths, colloquially known as `Daleks'. In 1988 these were replaced by two smaller Air-Portable Type 86 Radars. These were mounted on top of 4.26m Steel Gantries built over the `Daleks'. Some of the earlier Radar Station Buildings were reused by the Bloodhound Unit, including the Guard House (which retained its original function) an Operations Room was placed in the R3 Bunker and the 1950's Type 80 Radar Modulator Building was converted for use as a Workshop. Ready Use Stores (containing spare Missiles) were simple Concrete Hardstandings. Other structures on site include, buildings for an RAF Dog Section, a Store, a Garage, a Hut of undertermined function, an Explosive Fitment Bay, an Office and a Stand-By Set House.

Well, Gü is away for 8 hours now and I know Nani misses him already (in fact I'm missing him too...)
This is another photo from our "party" with this grat wallpaper :)
Anyone else missing it too?

Cardboard puzzle, sadly missing 2 pieces.
Charles, Duke of Orleans (1394-1465) was the grandson of the French King Charles V (“the Wise), nephew of King Charles VI (“the Beloved/Mad”) and father of King Louis XII. In addition, his first wife (also his first cousin…) was Isabella of Valois, widow of (deposed) King Richard II (of England).
He fought in the Battle of Agincourt, then was held as a prisoner of war by the English for the next 25 years (released in 1440). He was held in various places, including at the Tower of London, as depicted in the puzzle image. During this time, he wrote poetry in both English and French (over 500 poems in his lifetime), which is what he is now best known for. One of his poems is sometimes believed to be the earliest known Valentine, although this is apparently not true. He did write several poems on that theme, though. (The British Library has an interesting blog post about this)
The puzzle image is taken from a 15th century illuminated manuscript of Charles’s poems (created in around 1483), held by the British Library. It shows Charles writing poetry (on the right), as well as in several other situations around the image, including riding away to freedom. This broadly accurate depiction is the earliest surviving non-schematic picture of the Tower of London. The Tower’s iconic central White Tower was first built by William the Conqueror in 1078.
The image also shows the old medieval London Bridge (built in 1209) in the background, with houses on it. Apparently in the 14th century, there were as many as 140 houses on it, although they were so narrow that many were later merged, leaving a lower total number (around 90). The shops on the ground floor of the houses meant that the bridge was at one point one of London’s main shopping streets. The bridge’s other notable features included a drawbridge and the Stone Gate, which was where the severed heads of traitors (including William Wallace, Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell) were displayed on pikes.
The bridge was finally demolished in 1831, after its replacement had been built (100m upstream). That “new” London Bridge was itself replaced in 1973, and now stands in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, having been purchased by a local entrepreneur and reconstructed over there, to attract tourism and generate interest in property in the city.

I'm investigating suicide for uni and my development has led me to this. The idea is to focus on the pieces of the person that they feel are missing in order for them to contemplate suicide. I'm still experimenting though.
We checked out this old gold mining camp. It was active up until the late 80's. The sign is missing now and I have NO IDEA where it is!

For some of us, hearts might have gone cold. Hearts might have gone missing in river or in place where it is hard to find. As life int this world continues, these hearts will always find its way back home no matter how rough or cold the path it takes.
"The heart had gone cold, but the love that kept it alive will always remain in its natural"
These are all over town, so it seems that a lot of people care about Jerry Tang. I hope they find him soon, and call the police if you've seen him.
