Visited today with Tankman while in the area and managed 6 ROC posts, though only got into one of them suppose someone has to record these :;)
Anyway this post is situated atop a big hill and right in the middle pretty much of the busy village of Inkberrow with a lot of people about and some very upper class looking housing so we was a bit anxious some old dear might call the cops on us for whatever reason. But we braved it and went on up, tower was a dead give away to the location. Its locked with a bike lock but previous reports from around the web show it in good condition but pretty empty and apparently used as storage. The post originally fell under Oxford group.

The compound in the distance on the approach.

Looking through, the compound seems well looked after and the compound gate isn't locked but seems to have been made in a way it won't open :?

The tower which is apparently owned by Tmobile, could have been an aircraft post but the structure looks fairly new so don't think it was around in WW2.

And the security horse to finish off who lives in the same field as the post, he was no bother:gay
