Construction started on the R12 Technical Block in the early 1960's. It was built specifically to mount the Type 85 radar as part of the Linesman scheme to update Britain’s radar defences. RAF Neatishead was one of only four ROTOR Stations where major rebuilding work took place as part of this scheme. The R12 building housed the equipment and plant for the Type 85 radar array that was mounted on its roof. The radar became operational in 1967 but following decommissioning, the array was removed in the early 1990's. The R12 building is essentially a massive rectangular box measuring 190ft 3in by 154ft 2in and comprising two storeys and a basement that housed the RADAR data-handling equipment and associated air conditioning plant.
When RAF Neatishead was first established, its primary function was as a 'Control and Reporting Centre' (CRC) for the south of the United Kingdom. Equipment previously located in the base included: Type 7 GCI, AN/FPS-6 height finding radar, Type 80 'Green Garlic' radar, Type 84 radar, Type 85 'Blue Yeoman' radar, 3 Decca (later Plessey) HF200 height finding radars, and a R15 radar.
On 16th February 1966, a fire broke out in the bunker, RAF station fire teams were unsuccessful in putting the fire out and so local civilian fire crews were called. Three civilian firefighters died and the fire burned for nine days before it was fully extinguished. Later that year, LAC Cheeseman was sentenced to seven years for starting the fire and causing the deaths. The station was closed for eight years, re-opening in 1974 after a major rebuild of the bunker complex.
The operational nature of the work undertaken at Neatishead was transferred to the previously mothballed site at RAF Bawdsey in 1966, with Bawdsey reverting to a care and maintenance programme when Neatishead came back on line in 1974. In November 1982, Group Captain Joan Hopkins took command of the station, becoming the first female RAF officer to take command of an operational station. During July 1990 the Type 85 radar was decommissioned after 23 years of use, it was replaced by the Type 93.
In April 2004, the decision was taken to substantially reduce activities at RAF Neatishead, and by 2006, the base had been downgraded from an RAF station to Remote Radar Head (RRH) status, but its adjacent museum remains open. Its former gate guardian, a F-4 Phantom previously based at RAF Wattisham, was cut up for scrap in 2005 despite interest from the Radar Museum. In October 2006, local news media reported that a buyer had been found for the now disused section of the base. The 25½ acres site was advertised again in January 2010, with an asking price of £4,000,000. The site was subsequently purchased for an undisclosed amount by Zimbabwean-born British entrepreneur William Sachiti.
RRH Neatishead controls the remote site of RRH Trimingham with its Lockheed TPS 77 radar. It forms part of the UK's air defences – namely the UK 'Air Surveillance And Control System' (ASACS), and is part of the larger NATO air defence. RRH Neatishead is adjacent to the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum. In July 2022, it was announced that the radar equipment at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles to the RRH Neatishead site due to the threat of coastal erosion, and the increased interference experienced by radar operators from the off-shore wind turbines; the move was completed by the end of 2023.

Note to tourists: It is NOT actually always Christmas in NY. Don't come here in August and ask me how to get to the tree in Rockefeller Center, or where to get tickets for the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular.

RAF Chedworth is a WW2 satellite airfield outside the village of Chedworth in Gloucestershire. It was built between 1941 and 1942 and used for flight training through most of its operational life. For less than a month in June / July 1944 the airfield was home to the 9th Air Force of the USAAF.
A relatively small airfield, in a safe middle England location, it lacks the defences many in the South East have. What remains today are almost both runways, the battle HQ, as well as the operations building, armoury, and remnants of the dispersed living sites.
Public footpaths run throughout so access is straightforward, but many of the buildings are still on private farmland.
Members of Choose DuPage, a collective business, development and political voices from throughout the DuPage County, recently held their January meeting at the College of DuPage Technical Education Center. Following a presentation by keynote speaker Greg Baise, president and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturer's Association, guests toured manufacturing labs and other facilities on campus.
In reverse it seems to work fine. Goes straight, turns when I ask it to. In forward it spins uncontrollably in a circle. I checked if both front wheels are spinning and they work fine and appear to point straight even while spinning. It's front wheel drive and the alignment is adjustable but now matter what I try there it still spins crazy. Awaiting tech support before I open it up and start to tinker.
