Atlas ICBM Launch Control Console
This Launch Control Console (LCC) is the only console used to launch the Atlas series Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). The console has several groups of indicators that provide vital information that cannot be incorporated in the countdown display. The information the console provides is necessary, not only for the safety of the missile, but for support of required decisions. The console is designed to be operated by a single person and is composed of thirteen functional areas called patches. Each patch displays critical information of not only the launch and abort phases of the Atlas missile, but also crucial safety information about the status of the Atlas, its pressurization and its fuel system.
The thirteen patches:
1. Target Patch: Targets 1 of 2 present targets. Target A or B is always selected
2. Clock Countdown Patch: Clock starts at countdown and displays time until launch initiation
3. Pressurization Patch: Displays the pressure status of the missile propellant tanks and bulkheads between the tanks
4. Malfunction Patch: Contains 13 amber indicators displaying any malfunctions
5. Standby Status Patch: Displays the status of all subsystems during standby and countdown phases
6. Countdown Patch: Contains a single light "ready for countdown" and one button "start" displaying the weapon system is ready for countdown. The "start" button begins countdown
7. Countdown Status Patch: Displays the progress of the countdown sequence to the launch operator
8. Abort Patch: Aborts the launch sequence during either the countdown or commit stages
9. Readiness Patch: Signals the Squadron Commander that the missile is either in commission or out of commission
10. Commit Patch: Enables a launch if the Squadron Commander removes the launch disable signals
11. Miscellaneous Patch: Tests Lamps
12. Communication Patch: Encompasses 12 communication lines. 7 are for direct tactical circuits to fixed stations, 2 for conventional dial lines and 3 are spare for future growth
13. Public Address (PA) Patch: Displays alerts and strike signal as well as allowing the speaker the use of the PA system
Weight: 295lbs
Manufacturer: Hallamore Electronics Division

An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.
