Orford Ness: derelict Bomb Ballistics tower and Cobra Mist radio transmitter station
Beyond the Bomb Ballistics tower, the Cobra Mist site: a huge windowless building used first for experimental radar, then for a radio transmitter beaming content to the Soviet bloc (the aerial array can be seen to the right). Further off can just be seen the buildings of Aldeburgh and beyond them the distinctive white dome of Sizewell B nuclear power station.
