View of this disused tower Geographed previously in 2007 Image The Flow of Airriequhillart forest is in the background. Interestingly, satellite imagery taken in 2010 also shows a directional arrow on the ground near the tower at NX 33662 51177, indicating the path to the target which is the forest. Low flying exercises by the RAF still continue in this area and I assume the tower and forest are still used as markers.
