UK: Remote radar, radio and VOR sites

[Mooncrest]

Good evening. I'm interested to know how these sites are monitored, maintained and staffed, especially those that are absolutely in the back of beyond such as Great Dun Fell. If I can draw an analogy with Trinity House, all their lighthouses, foghorns and so on are remotely controlled and monitored from their HQ in Harwich. Is it a similar situation for NATS from Swanwick and Prestwick or are engineers permanently on site ?

Thankyou.

Methinks that in these days of high security, you might be asked why you want this information...

Because I take a keen interest in technical ATC aspects HD. You have very kindly answered a number of my queries in the past.
