Used love that hill as a young fella, 30 mins to get to the top then 30 seconds to get to the bottom from the top.

as far as i am aware the two were origanaly for triangulation of the planes back in the day.

then when transponders were fitted there was only the need for the one to recieve the data from the plane.

But back in the day there was originally only one then they built a 2nd one and have since removed one, not sure if they demolished the original one or the newer one.

Few pics from the last time I was up there (just over a year ago.) Might take a spin back up there soon, great view on a good day.
