Not open to the public that often if I understand correctly? A fascinating bit of our recent history; you've captured it well.

Thanks Andy

The site was open to the public today by the RSPB, as happens twice a year. It raises funds for the RSBP, as well as having an expert on the history of the mirrors give a very good talk about their history and the the development of the technology.
