Thought I would stick a few pics up of this one as its my local post. The post is located in a nice location at the edge of the villiage. It had a very short operational life, being built in 1966 and closing in 1968. It is now used by the Leicestershire Repeater Group and is securely locked.
The WW2 aircraft post was in a different location on a high outcrop, which offers fantastic views on a clear day. I can remember exploring it when I was younger, but I didn't know what it was at the time! However the area is now a nature reserve, and the post has been destroyed! :(
