Abandoned Radar Base in Trinidad and Tobago 1960s

[@KwanTao69]

Nicely done, I remember touring that facility, we called it "The Site.", when I was a Boy Scout there on "The Base" in the late 50's. The main antenna/dish was enormous. I remember that it was pointed towards "The States" and covered a 3% sector of the sky. The Site was manned by the Air Force personal on the Base. I still remember both of the officers very well. The boss, Maj. Mathies retired as a General, obviously many years later. My 3 years in Trinidad left just a huge imprint on my life. What a great place to grow up as a teenager. Thank you Husiff, my name is Drew.

[@Husiff]

Hey goodnight Mr. Drew, thanks for stopping by and sharing a bit of your history, it is truly appreciated, you speck of a time before me and the little incite is interesting, it is amazing to know that you were actually there in person in a time before me and you could tell a little about it.

[@Dave1854]

Great work and content, you might be the first person to show us this depth of content on the dish and tracking station in such details. All I can I think when you were exploring the insides was, how it was when it was fully functioning with a full staff. With all the offices, it seems like they had a lot of people working at the facilities you showed! Thanks again for this!

[@Husiff]

definitely a lot of people worked there at one point in time, this was a grand project, a lot of effort was put into this place, you could see it just by walking around. Hey thanks for the feedback,i appreciate it.

[@Dave1854]

@@Husiff Ur welcome, I was mesmerized as a kid when I saw all those satellite dish like the one you showed and the ones in people yards when I lived in Trinidad.

[@alcampbell]

Hi there, This is al in the States. Just found your channel. I was born in Trinidad and left after high many years ago. I went to Tranquillity high school. I still have to go through the channel, but I`m excited to hear all these Trinidad stories I have missed for over 40 years. Keep up the good work. Your efforts are appreciated. I know, I know. We should appreciate with money. LOL.

[@Husiff]

lol, you made me laugh with the last part of your statement, lol Money is not everything, your simple words go a very long way, trust me, sometimes a simple thing as thank you or even a smile goes a long way, don't worry its ok. its nice to have you on the channel Mr Campbell, welcome. waw 40 years is so long to be away. we are still here, you must visit sometime.

Lol, lard, it really isn't safe, but i saw a video where some people went all the way up, but I couldn't do it, rain was falling and it was making it look more dramatic.

[@clintquintal5885]

Fantastic as usual. The history here is quite incredible. I have been saying for years that because of the history of tracking station , it could be an international tourist attraction. One of my favourite spots. Great job with everything as usual. BUT yuh forget me with Brasso Seco eh?? LOL

[@Husiff]

Lol you played on my mind over and over, while doing this video, i end up moving to the west to work for a year, and you know the traffic is bad, so after work i killed time doing this project for the traffic to lighten up, then head up Arima. But as i get the time I would do it, i would try my best to make it the next video.

thanks bro

[@627hazel]

Thank you for this very informative video. This is lost history that should have been archived by the government as a part of our history. Those reels, and photographs are lost history sadly.😢

[@SuperPhilomath]

I enjoyed your presentation...

[@knaguar]

Was informed that the large concrete slab that fell outside the antenna was a result of the large earthquake in August 2018. I was scheduled to do a photoshoot around that time however given that recent fall and significant safety risk, the folks at CDA advised against. Still weary to walk in/around to this day. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable trip when they do.

[@Husiff]

Waw, that's what happened, i was really trying to make sense of it, thanks for sharing that info bro. By the way you always got to be careful if entering the buildings, it really isn't safe. great location to shoot, you could try a thing, just be safe, there are areas that isn't so bad.

I always see that dish when traveling on the boat from Trinidad to Tobago and wonder what it looks like

[@Husiff]

now you know, hey thanks for the feedback, its appreciated.

[@ttbirds1082]

Very interesting. I always avoided entering the buildings for safety reasons. May be worth a careful look.

[@Husiff]

Hay happy new year, yeah it looks like an interesting area for real.

[@NekoNekoNee123]

Perfect place to film a trini horror film, very informative video.

[@kreativeforce532]

The dish should be upgraded for modern use today. Perhaps it could be used to provide WiFi for the whole island, or used for national defense.

[@SYWMedia]

Great job on the history lesson, great job on the production as well! If I may be so rude to ask you to change the thumbnail a little, I would ask you to include the words " All You Need To Know About" because you have done so much research and give such great info, its a shame this video does not have more views, and my only thought is, that so many others have just flown their drones around the site with little to no info already, unfortunately your video seems that way also....only until you click and give it a chance that is!

[@Husiff]

Hey good morning Sean W, you made me smile with that bit of info you give me, it made sense, thanks a lot, good looking out, i would change it up.

[@SYWMedia]

@@Husiff KZbin is work, and my perspective on a topic may shed another angle that may help, I am just happy to try and help. It may or may not work, but its worth a try.
