See what you can discover.

Good enough photo found, see comments confirming Stevenson screen location but not whether the base is on concrete.

WMO03385, Donna Nook No. 2

53 28 29N 00 09 10E
Altitude 8 metres

Estimated Class 5. Location of Stevenson screen appears to be on concrete a few feet northside of control tower in deep shadow.

Evidence toward this by chance today, the BBC region weather report:-

UHI, extreme local base, distance, none.

Site is RAF, NATO, Coastguard, Wildlife, very confused.

As a special site for local operational purpose there isn’t a problem, provided the data is either restricted or appropriately very clearly marked.

    In fact it is. When the BBC image is blown up to 400% the Stevenson Screen is clear to see.

    It is in the North West corner of the control tower compound.
