Well it's not really a Watchman. It's a Watchman antenna but the electronics were all replaced some years ago with the Sensis SPE 3000 transmitter etc, turning it into what is called an NASR10. Glasgow and the wind farm mitigation radar at Kincardine are the same configuration.

The only other remaining S511s are at Prestwick (which is another hybrid
- basically S511 electronics with a Watchman antenna) and the MoD range at Manorbier in Wales.
