This post about is the second of two parts. This part is dedicated to the business end of RAF Sharpitor, known as the “Technical Site”. The site was established around 1942 and abandoned around 1971. It served as a master transmitting station for the south west gee station – a radio navigation system that enabled aircraft to fix their position throughout most of Europe.Tribute must be paid once again to Bill Wilkinson who served there and wrote two superb articles in the Dartmoor Magazine (issue 44 – Autumn 1996 and issue 83 – Summer 2006), without which I fear a lot of the history might have been lost.
