Well done.
Took that photo today.
Thought I'd get the guard house but that's gone, only a few huts left and they will be gone in a month or two. Lots of new houses.
Better than building on green fields.

I visited during my Area Radar course at Hurn back in '73; you enter the 'guardhouse' and walk down a long sloping passage etc. Above ground was the T80 radar head which was rotating so slowly (4 rpm) you could step into its equipment cabin while it rotated.
I did an ATC camp there in about 1967. Remember doing rifle drill in the pouring rain.
There was a lot of stuff underground, 6 levels i think. We only went down 2 levels.
According to wiki:-
The only surviving surface features of the site are the guardhouse, which has been refurbished, the generator building and a small blockhouse that doubles as an emergency exit for the bunker. The bunker too remains intact and is used by a private company for data storage.[3]
I didn't see the guardhouse when I went past today.
