It's a shame I didn't have more time to stop to shoot from a better angle and sort out the exposure values for this image, but it was in my interest not to annoy the patrolling police any further after the friendly little 'stop n search' interview we had earlier. The moorland surveillance base (near Harrogate, Yorkshire) is guarded by UK Ministry of Defence Police who are paid for and under the operational control of the Americans and is enclosed by an alarmed security fence topped with razor wire and with CCTV cameras mounted at regular intervals along it. If you'd like a peek under the golf ball shaped hood, have a look at my photos of the Very Large Array in Sorocco, New Mexico which feature similar equipment in a less disguised state.
