Lands End in 1940

A look at England's most westerly tip during World War Two. The video starts in 1940 with film taken from a newsreel before moving to 1945 with rare footage of RAF Mark's Castle CHL17 - the Chain Home Low radar station. We then see Land's End in 1950 before ending with some original colour footage from 1953.

I didn’t realise that there was film of Marks castle, thanks for uploading. Cheers

Delightful. Wonder if the foundations of this radar station still exist? Should be listed given its importance.

Yes there are some remains including an air raid shelter though not in good condition. See my video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGjOeaqJhauhr7M

The Bosch failed to destroy it then along came Peter De Unsavoury and phuked it completely (with the aid of Cornwall County Council)!
