The adapter section mated the re-entry vehicle to the missile. The cylinders were part of an early decoy system, they contained metalized balls that would be deployed though the panels on the side of the adapter prior to re-entry to confuse tracking of the incoming warhead. The system was discontinued in 1975.

The Titan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) was the largest silo based missile produced by the United States. These liquid fueled missiles were on around the clock operational status during the Cold War years. The Titan II missiles were deployed in three wings (of eighteen missiles each) in silos at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona; McConnell AFB, Kansas, and at Little Rock AFB in Arkansas. Titan Il had an estimated firing time of under one minute from the eight story deep silo. The silo was protected by a 740 ton "silo closure door" that could be rolled away in less than twenty seconds.

The church tower and ruined nave in the grounds of Ettington Park Hotel date back to the 12th century. The rest of the church buildings along with the houses of Ettington village were intentionally demolished in 1795 when the village land was incorporated into the estate of the nearby Ettington Hall (now Ettington Park Hotel), on the orders of the local lord, George Shirley. A new village, Upper Ettington, was built two miles away, together with a new church.
The church tower is not open to the public, as the sign seen here clearly states!
