Torquay ROC Post - (Devonshire Group) - August 2010
Opened May 1961, closed September 1991.
All that structurally remains is the unusually tall GZI mount situated in a hedgerow near the original compound. Subbrits last report showed that it was quite a few yards away from the hatch, so I wouldn't have wanted to be the person taking the readings if there had ever been a blast!
With crops growing in the field, and clear evidence of ploughing, my guess is the roof/upper walls were completely demolished, but what a lot of work to recover a few square yards of agricultural land.
GZI Mount, the top plate is actually about 6' above ground!

Apologies for the cheap phone pic quality, but I couldn't find another report on the forum for Torquay so thought it was worth sharing.
Thanks for looking.
