A mid 70's Vega wagon. I remember a small badge on these things that said "Vega, by Chevrolet" Not very confidence inspiring when It doesn't even bear its brand's bow tie.

My new piece in the black portrait series.
Took zillion photos and it still doesn't look right. Taking a photo of a black mosaic is too demanding...
The buildings at Gin Head are significant survivals of the Admiralty Signals base which was founded here in 1943, which played a crucial role in the development of marine radar technology during the Second World War.
This strategically situated research station was particularly important in the months leading up to the Allied invasion of France in 1944. Scientists and technicians from the Admiralty and Air Ministry came here to develop and perfect techniques to jam German radar stations.
It was here that they analysed captured German radar equipment. The base was also used to test the effectiveness of radio countermeasures equipment prior to the D-day landings in June 1944.
They also tested the use of a procedure called 'Window', that involved throwing bundles of aluminium strips out of an aircraft in order to jam a radar station or to make a single bomber appear as a mass of aircraft.
The deception and testing operations carried out at Gin Head / Tantallon were key to the success of the D-Day landings in Normandy on the 6th June 1944. They helped to deceive the German High Command into thinking that the British Naval and Airborne armada would arrive in France via the Pas de Calais, rather than in Normandy and they contributed to the general confusion of the German commanders in the immediate aftermath of the landings.
It continued to be used by the Admiralty after the war for radar trials and was later sold in 1984 to GEC Ferranti. They continued using it for the same purposes throughout the years of the Cold War until it was finally abandoned in 1994.
A planning application was submitted for the renovation of the current buildings to form 7 new houses, however in September 2010 this was refused on the basis of insufficient capacity in local schools.
