Former Cold War radio station opened in 1955, decommissioned in 1964 and finally closed in the 1970s. This was the main modulator building which is currently unoccupied, the guardhouse out of shot behind Radar House has been converted into a private dwelling whilst the camp built for those working at the station became Northeye Prison then a private educational campus for the United Arab Emirates. Taken from outside the perimeter fence near the footpath to Waller's Haven.
