The flying ballast for the radar was never (at least from my experience) concrete. It was a thick metal disc that was both blue and circular - hence the Blue Circle epithet.
All the ones I saw in various hangars at Leeming and St Athan for 10 years were definitely concrete - hence the Blue Circle epithet!
