Experts from the RAF have expressed fears that too many wind farms in the English Channel could create security risks to the UK by allowing foreign aircraft to fly to our shores undetected Said experts maybe ought to check the RAF's radar coverage of the English Channel. I think they'll find there isn't any, because we never expected the Ruskies to launch their invasion through France
I seem to remember that during the "Cold War" At nearby Sandwich a certain Air Defence Radar Station!

This one!

RAF Ash (formerly RAF Sandwich) was an RAF underground control centre and radar station situated near the village of Woodnesborough, Kent, England.
RAF Sandwich was originally a Ground Controlled Interception (GCI) site situated in Ash Road, Sandwich. However, after the Second World War the area was chosen for one of a chain of ROTOR air defence radar stations and the site was relocated to an underground bunker 1.5 miles to the south-west in Marshborough Road, Ash, the new site being renamed RAF Ash.
RAF Ash was closed and the site sold in July 1998.[1] It is now used as a secure server farm by an Internet hosting company
