10/10! You have control!! Except that 'er be in Zumzett, rather than the land of Devon dumplings. But only just... It's more interesting history includes the fact that it was one of the first aerodromes from which Meteors flew.

I tweaked the photo to give it an appearance of age, but by the time it was taken, Culmhead Radio Station had closed.

Having lived in the south-west, I knew that it was a secret monitoring station, euphemistically termed a 'government radio station'.... So, when I flew Vulcans I used to use that big white building as an IP for low-level bombing runs, knowing that the spies couldn't really complain.....

I knew the place as 'Trickey Warren', but it was also known either as RAF Churchstanton or RAF Culmhead.
