This is now the site of Highview Caravan Park, formerly Drone Hill Caravan Park, located amongst the remains of an historic military installation. Drone Hill was one of the earliest chain-home radio detection finding (RDF) stations built immediately prior to World War II and using the system developed by Robert Watson-Watt (1892 &#8211; 1973). The station comprised four 100-m (330-foot) high masts with supporting buildings and defensive structures. The RADAR station here was decommissioned in the early 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to&nbsp;Christopher Ross of Ponka, Alberta, Canada for sending the
