I think it is Ventnor CH that is being seen. The CD/CHL would be more difficult to spot at that distance. http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/v/ventnor/index1.shtml |

Are you sure it is GCI There appear to be four masts in the upper image which would suggest MF DF. Not sure about the lower one but looks more like WT than radar? The GCI is off the edge of the image at SZ505766 http://www.ventnorradar.co.uk/RAFBlack.htm |
